House Passes a $2.7 Trillion Spending Plan
After more than a month of delay as Republicans feuded among themselves, the House early Thursday narrowly approved a $2.7 trillion spending plan for next year.
The $70 billion bill that Mr. Bush signed would extend his 2003 tax cuts on stock dividends and capital gains for an extra two years, to 2010, and shield 15 million taxpayers for one more year from a big increase in the alternative minimum tax.
The measure calls for increasing military spending by 7 percent, to nearly $558 billion in 2007, a figure that includes $50 billion for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The plan would raise the debt ceiling by $653 billion, to $9.6 trillion, and it assumes that the shortfall next year will be $348 billion, about what it is likely to be in 2006.
PRATICAMENTE 558 MILIARDI DI DOLLARI PER LA DIFESA!!!
MENO MALE CHE STAVANO PER CROLLARE........ORMAI MILITARMENTE
PARLANDO SONO INARRIVABILI.
