Congress OKs Record $2.27 Trillion Budget
 

"Congress approved a record $2.27 trillion federal budget Friday, winning a razor-thin Senate victory after Republican leaders promised to limit new tax cuts to half the amount President Bush has proposed.

The deal that won just enough votes to approve the overall budget restricted new tax cuts over the next decade to $350 billion. It was negotiated by Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, chairman of the tax-writing Senate Finance Committee, and required the vote of Vice President Dick Cheney to break a 50-50 tie.

Having initially sought $726 billion in tax cuts, the White House and House Republicans had reluctantly acceded earlier to tax cuts of $550 billion and were caught off guard by the lower final figure."
