House Democrats voted to block a floor debate on President Barack Obama’s tax deal with Republicans, in a non-binding move to force changes in the proposal to extend Bush-era tax cuts for all income levels.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California told reporters that members will make suggestions and “bring something to the floor.” She said the Democrats’ action was “nothing different” from Democratic senators’ effort to seek changes in the bill.
