"It's one of dozens of tax breaks benefiting Hollywood producers,
stock-car racetrack owners and Virgin Islands rum- makers included in
the broader legislation in an effort to win support from House
Republicans, whose defection contributed to a rejection of an earlier
version of the legislation two days ago on a 228-205 vote."

regulation, or the avoidance of 'moral hazards' to have been conditions
for GOP support, it appears that they have sold out for much less.
