WASHINGTON — Congress on Thursday approved a $145.9 billion package of tax relief to extend three popular middle-class tax cuts, giving President Bush his fourth major tax victory since taking office.
The Senate approved the measure 92-3 Thursday night less than an hour after it cleared the House by a similarly lopsided 339-65.

Gee, this is going to break Kerry's heart.
Heheheh.
Things are going GWs way...
It's funny what a little thing like an election in a couple of weeks will do to Congress.
Good point. Very good point.
Who voted against, and who missed the vote?
Let's see were the 3 against: Kerry Kennedy and Edwards?
Thats what I want to know. I bet John Fraud Kerry wasn't even there.
How much and how soon?
KERRY: I would have voted against it, before I voted for it, if I was there.
8:18 Senate votes 92-3 to extend middle class tax cuts
Here's a coupla bulletins I bet the cBS MarketWatch webmaster hated to type to y'all !!!
So 92 senators voted for it. Any guess as to how many will call it a "tax break for the wealthy" in their campaign?
Right. I suspect the flippant Senator was AWOL once again.
He doesn't want to get pinned down on anything at all.
I can't wait for the debates.
Don't be silly. What would Kerry and Edwards be doing showing up for a vote?
YAY!! We get to keep more of our OWN money!!
If you know a poor person who can't find the time to wash their car because they're busy working two jobs, you tell him John Edwards says "Hope Is On The Way!"
After the election, what else will he have to do?
So either Kerry was one of the 5 that missed it, or three that opposed it. I'm guesing he didn't bother to vote. Same with Edwards. It's remarkable that a man that promises to fix all our problems cannot even keep that promise in the job he was elected to perform.
4 tax cuts in Bush's term. Desires to overhaul the system in his second. Yes, there are many reasons to keep this President around and give him the support he needs in Congress and House.
I still haven't found one pro-American reason to elect kerry.
Awesome!
I called his office and asked if he'd been out windsurfing instead. The gal said he didn't want to go because it was a show. I then asked her if Dayton had missed the really good show.....Kennedy ranting. Yup, Dayton missed that too.
