Daschle “very concerned” about the repercussions of passing yet another tax cut

From The Hill: "Tax vote splits centrist group." Excerpt:

Minority Leader Sen. Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) said on the floor that he was “very concerned” about the repercussions of passing yet another tax cut that would add to the deficit, adding that the deficit amounted to a “birth tax” on every American newborn.

“We ought to be embarrassed by the irresponsibility of doing things that are not properly offset and paid for,” Daschle said. Daschle, who is engaged in a fierce battle for reelection, also voted for last week’s tax cuts.
