Congress Gives Itself ‘Window’ To Consider New Tax Bill

Kelly Phillips ErbMay 22, 2010

Hmm. Maybe Congress is listening after all. After vowing to rush the American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act of 2010 (the revised Tax Extenders Bill) through, they’ve taken a step back. On Friday, members of the House decided to give themselves a 72 hour window for “member review.” I don’t want to get anybody’s hopes up but do you think this means they’re going to read the darn thing?

    They don’t read much of anything and haven’t for many years

    Fact is, most extreme political pundits rarely actually read most bills that they are OUTRAGED at

    People don’t want the truth…they want what they want and anyone who doesn’t want to give them that….is whatever insult the people are coming up with

    Seems to be more focused on corporations, with little real tax relief for working individuals. Can’t see any stand out credit or deduction akin to the stimulus credits of the last 2 years.
