The Obama tax plan to eliminate taxes on families earning $250K or less was defeated by a Senate "cloture" vote on the Baucus Amendment of: YES: 53 NO 36. In effect, 60 votes were needed to avoid fillibuster. The next vote on taxes (today) will be on the Schumer Amendment that eliminates taxes on families earning $1M or less. |

Right after the vote, Sen McConnell addressed the Senate saying 100% of the Republicans and Obama
voted NO on the Schumer Amendment ????  And here I thought Obama's top news for today was this: Reuters News Obama lauds U.S., South Korean trade deal Quote:
