Couldn't middle class tax cut be passed by reconciliation?

[WI_DEM]

without the tax cuts for the rich? Wasn't that how Bush passed his tax cuts? Why can't the lame duck session of this congress take this up and the house extend that middle class tax cuts and then the senate (if the GOPers will threaten a fillibuster) pass the middle class tax cut extensions without the tax cuts for the rich by reconciliation. The Bush tax cuts will then expire on January 1?

Here, we wanted to check Grayson's statement that reconciliation was used "for tax cuts for the rich twice under Bush."

We checked with Grayson's staff, and they said he was referring to the large tax cuts passed in 2001 and 2003. We checked the votes, and both were passed by reconciliation.
