Date: February 6, 2002
Subject: Democrat Stimulus and Spending Bill
Description: This cloture motion would require a vote on an economic stimulus and spending bill introduced by Majority Leader Daschle (D-SD). The bill would increase spending above the budget by providing $5 billion in assistance to states, allowing for a $300 rebate to taxpayers who did not earn them in 2001, extending unemployment benefits and giving a tax cut to certain businesses, but do nothing for overall tax rates. Although the bill received a majority, it failed because it would waive the Congressional Budget Act spending limits, which required 60 votes. ACU opposed this massive and unfunded spending bill.
Result: Cloture Motion Rejected, 56-39
