"We want to cut taxes and the President wants to spend it," Lott said after the vote. "That's what the fighting is all about." Well, that?s what the fighting will be about. Before the Republicans...
...denial of treatment. Republicans, while pressing for some of the same reforms, are seeking a more limited bill covering fewer people and with no broad new rights to sue.
