More crap snuck into the budget bill, which was not printed or put on the Internet before the Congress had to vote on it. A provision to make savings accounts for private schools tax-deductible.

And a provision making the new cigarette taxes applicable towards the fines the tobacco companies are supposed to pay under the settlement.
