A quick Sum
"The proposed Senate amendment to H.R. 1 would specify appropriations for a wide range
of federal programs and would increase or extend certain benefits payable under the
Medicaid, unemployment compensation, and nutrition assistance programs. The
legislation also would reduce individual and corporate income tax collections through a
variety of changes to tax laws; those changes include instituting a tax credit of up to $500
for each worker in both 2009 and 2010, and raising the exemption amount allowed
against an individual’s income for the alternative minimum tax (AMT) for tax year 2009."
