Tax bill clears test vote in House
An $858 billion tax cut package brokered between President Barack Obama and Republicans cleared a key test vote in the House of Representatives on Thursday, after hours of delays.
The Senate overwhelmingly approved the bill on Wednesday. A vote on a Democratic bid to alter the measure by boosting the estate tax, and a vote on final passage, are expected within hours.
