Reagan undecided on new taxes to trim deficits
President Reagan and budget chief Stockman weigh whether to embrace new taxes as they finish a red ink budget for 1985. The Pentagon seeks a 22 percent military hike but will be trimmed. The plan targets about 920 to 930 billion spending with a roughly 185 billion deficit. CBO estimates 859 billion with an 180 billion shortfall. House GOP Leader Michel says no quick deficit cures are expected.
