From Huffington Post:
It's payback time on Capitol Hill.Since the House GOP voted unanimously against it the first time around, the Democrats didn't have to worry about losing any support. A tactical error by the Republicans.
Democrats rewarded the GOP for its near unanimous opposition Wednesday by ripping business tax cuts out of the final package, members of Congress said after a closed-door meeting to discuss the stimulus agreement reached with the Senate.
The Chamber of Commerce and other major business organizations lobbied for passage of the stimulus, but couldn't persuade a single House Republican or more than three Senate Republicans.
