The 633-page bill, which has already been passed by the House, passed the Senate today on a vote of 69 to 17. It is loaded with hundreds of provisions that provide benefits to a wide range of interests, including the General Electric Company, oil drillers, shipbuilders, cruise ship operators, importers of ceiling fans, corn farmers, tobacco farmers and even foreign gamblers. ...


But Senate leaders were blocked from voting until today by Senator Mary L. Landrieu, Democrat of Louisiana, who was furious that the final bill did not include $2 billion in tax credits for companies that keep paying employees who are called to active duty from military reserves and the National Guard.
This makes me very ANGRY. This is the kind of support our troops get from the Republicans. The business which help support military families are not getting a penny. But GE and the Foreign F***ING gamblers will. \:o \:o \:o

BTW, IB, how do you explain the 633 PAGE BILL in view of "President Bush's Action to Promote Tax Reform"???
