5. STALEMATE ENDS OVER TAX CUTS
Obama and GOP Compromise On Two-Year Extension Of Most Tax Cuts
U.S. President Obama announced on December 6 an agreement with the GOP to extend the Bush-era individual and capital gains/dividend tax cuts for all taxpayers for two years. The White House-brokered plan would also provide for a one-year payroll tax cut, 100 percent bonus depreciation for 2011, extenders relief, and a top federal estate tax rate of 35 percent with a $5 million exclusion. The president’s package is expected to pass Congress before year-end, although certain modifications may be made to garner additional support by key Democrats.
