House Passes Bush Tax Cuts , Senate Votes Today

Critics, including many Democrats, have attacked the tax-rate reductions on dividends and capital gains as being largely tilted to the wealthy. They say provisions should not be extended at a time of large budget deficits and massive spending for the war in Iraq.

...top Senate Finance Committee Democrat Max Baucus of Montana said Wednesday that the benefits of "capital gains and dividend reductions are outweighed by the cost of the deficits" they create. Many economists believe budget deficits put upward pressure on interest rates.

Way to go Max Baucus in compounding your mistake of being such a big player inj "crafting" the 2001 tax cuts by seeing the extension through.

2. What's your point?
Max voted against the Senate version of this tax bill because it would add to already staggering deficits. I support him in this vote. Rehberg and Burns both voted in favor of their respective bills. Shouldn't you be angry at them?
