Tax cut compromise passes, CO delegation split

  • 3 Comments
  • by: Phoenix Rising

Continuing the split started by Mark Udall and Michael Bennet in the Senate, the Colorado House delegation split their vote last night on the way to seeing the 2010 tax compromise passed unaltered.

Representatives DeGette, Perlmutter and Lamborn voted No, while Reps Coffman, Polis, Markey, and Salazar voted Yea.

The bill passed on a highly bipartisan 277-148 vote, with 139 Democratic ‘Yea’ votes and 138 Republican Yeas.  (112 Democrats and 36 Republicans voted against the bill.)

    1. I wasn’t a big fan of the compromise deal – in my mind it gives Republicans too much political leverage in the upcoming two year cycle.

      If we want it to work for Democrats, we’re going to have to pound out the message that this compromise gave too much to the wealthy while not considering the deficit.  And we’re going to have to be rock solid in defending against Republican attempts to keep Social Security taxes at an unsustainable level next year.

      Fortunately, it seems as though House Republicans might give us the leverage we need to make that work; their proposed CUT/GO system (increases in program spending cannot be offset by revenue increases, and revenue cuts do not have to be offset by spending decreases) will give Democrats some leverage to point out the sheer fiscal insanity of the Republican Party – if they choose to capitalize on it.
