Tax Bill Moves to Senate After House Passage Along Party Lines

By THE NEW YORK TIMES UPDATED 9:57 AM

Right Now The Senate parliamentarian has rejected three provisions in the tax bill saying they violate budget rules. The move will force the House to hold another vote on the revised legislation on Wednesday. Check out our live vote counter to see how the House vote played out .. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/12/19/us/politics/tax-bill-house-live-vote.html .

• The House approved the most sweeping tax rewrite in decades along party lines, with lawmakers voting 227-203 in support. However, the House will have to vote again after the Senate parliamentarian rejected three provisions in the Senate bill. Both chambers must pass identical bills.

• The Senate is expected to hold a final vote on Tuesday or early Wednesday.

• President Trump is expected to sign the bill into law soon after the final votes.

House passes final tax bill, sort of

As in America the fight for wage justice in Australia

National Press Club: Sally McManus

goes on. From Thatcher in the U.K., through Reagan in the U.S.A. union membership has
fallen as consumer and working rights have been constantly under conservative attack.

The content of Sally's speech would resonate with all interested in wage justice,
decent working conditions and a fair go for working people in America, too.

These are all linked in the post this sits in reply to.
