...cuts that combines the House?s across-the-board dreams (in this version, a one-percentage-point cut in every bracket) with the Senate?s targeted goodies (relief of the marriage penalty, increase IRA contribution limits) that make the measure sound more like one of Bill Clinton?s than Newt Gingrich?s.
