The article focuses on tax-cut bills in the U.S. that extended the cuts for individuals and businesses scheduled to expire in several years. This change, along with the addition of a $5 billion tax increase on large oil companies, drew protest from other committee Republicans who supported the package and the House bill also excludes business tax cuts for Gulf Coast rebuilding, which is part of the Senate package. A little discussion has also been provided on some other bills like Defense Bill that Calls for Reports on Iraq, USA PATRIOT Act, and Pension Reform Bill and views of famous lawyer Samuel A. Alito on these bills.
