WASHINGTON (Reuters) - an agreement Barack Obama President hit with Republicans to extend tax for almost every job cuts u.s. and spur job growth has navigated by the Senate on Wednesday.
The Senate passed the Law 81-19, with Democrats and Republicans offering a rare display of bipartisanship.
Now, the drama moves to the House of representatives, where many colleagues from the Obama Democrats strongly oppose the measure as promoting rich and are still angry with him to cut the deal with Republicans without them.
House will begin debate on fiscal agreement Thursday, a senior democratic assistance said and is likely to approve it.
The legislation would extend for two years revenue reductions adopted in accordance with Republican former President George w. Bush, to backup their fervent opposition more soon to expand cuts for the wealthiest Americans Democrats for taxes. Reductions era Bush are due to expire at the end of 2010, unless Congress acts.

House Democrats are increasingly resigned to the passage of the package 858 billion. Experts predict that the measures are likely to be spurring economic growth but add to the budget deficit of $ 1.3 trillion destabilized the bond market.
"At the end of the day, I think we are going to pass a Bill," said liberal democratic representative Henry Waxman.
Most Democrats House 255 may oppose the global tax package, but it should be approved with overwhelming support among 179 Republicans in the House.
Obama called on the House approved the Bill "as soon as possible" to avoid tax increases in all areas in January.
Many economists are predicting that the tax package could add up to 1 percentage point to economic expansion next year due in part to one-year cut taxes on wages and removing uncertainty about taxes in General.
Obama taxes on position marked a huge change in the debate earlier this year, when he and his fellow Democrats fought against tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans — those with revenues over $250,000 households renewal while supporting the continuation of cuts for the middle class taxpayers.
At that time, they said that with budget deficits at record levels in the United States cannot afford to give tax cuts for the richest.
But with the Republicans draw a line in the sand on the issue and the rating of major wins in November 2 election Congress - take control of the House and make gains in the Senate - Obama consented on Americans to higher income tax cuts.
Democrats earned their desired extension of unemployment were expiring to millions of people to stop jobs in poor economic benefits.

"It is hard to believe they think it is wise to give a boon to the heirs as Paris Hilton," democratic senior representative Chris Van Hollen wrote in the Washington Post.
Democrats will try probably change tax bill with a modification on the estate tax, even if it is not known if that could pass. MF global analyst Chris Krueger said that such a vote would be symbolic.
Representative Earl Pomeroy, the Democrat proponent of a steeper estate tax proposal, told Reuters that he was "fuzzy" if such a vote would go.
He said that Democrats will try because "some things are worth fighting for." He then noted: "I will say this... want to return to their homes and, you know sometimes, heading to the boarding gate is powerful enough to pass packets impetus."
