* Republican Rep. Pat Tiberi (OH-12) is the Chair of a House Ways and Means Committee. Tiberi, who has successfully worked in the shadow of other Republicans (like John Kasich) stays out of sight, has been hearing testimony this week on tax breaks. Unfortunately, Tiberi seems to be embracing extending the Bush tax cuts for the rich.
WallStreetJournal:
....Rep. Pat Tiberi (R, Ohio), the chairman of a House Ways and Means
Committee subcommittee, told reporters on Thursday that the goal remains
to come up with a comprehensive overhaul of the tax code that lowers
rates while bringing more parts of the tax base back into the system.
But "in the interim, that may mean that some of these extenders have to
be extended," Tiberi told reporters. "It may mean that the 01-03 have to
be extended."
....One hitch: Mr. Tiberi said that Congress must find a way to pay for
extending any of the tax breaks. That means either spending cuts or tax
increases elsewhere--options that tend to run into opposition.....
Tiberi, Boehner, Cantor, and other GOPers have already indicated how they'd get the things they want. Just this week, the Republican-dominated House pushed to keep college loan interest rates low by removing preventive care for women from the Obama health care bill. The Republicans are telling you that you will get your student loan, but your mother won't be able to get her yearly cancer screenings. (Yet Republicans say there is no "war on women.")
Here is the vote (The "ayes" voted to extend lower interest rates for college loans, but take away your mother's cancer screenings.) from Friday, April 27, 2012, for
H R 4628 from the clerk.house.gov/evs/2012/roll195.xml:
