WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 (UPI) -- U.S. Rep. John Boehner, the incoming House speaker, described a Democratic move Thursday to limit the extension of the Bush tax cuts as "chicken crap."
Republicans described the vote as an attempt to derail negotiations on a tax compromise, Politico reported. The party wants to extend the entire Bush tax package while Democrats say taxes should be increased for those with incomes of more than $250,000.
