| Description | The House Republican leader on Sunday suggested he may be willing to concede to Democrats who want to let the Bush tax cuts lapse for the wealthiest Americans, but the Senate Republican leader today said he is standing his ground.
A spokesperson for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) said today that McConnell has received a promise from every Senate Republican to filibuster any attempt to extend the Bush tax cuts that doesn't include the tax cuts for the wealthy, the Associated Press reports.
"That's the kind of debate that unifies my caucus, from Olympia Snowe to Jim DeMint," McConnell said, the Washington Post reports, referring to the most liberal and most conservative Senate Republicans. |
