Ford’s tax dispute traps President in tight political box
In New York the piece argues Ford’s pledge to veto tax cuts without spending cuts constrains both his budget and congressional action. Democrats pass a $13.4 billion tax cut without offsetting reductions, risking a January tax increase if not renewed. The piece highlights unemployment near 8 percent, a persisting recession, and a potential path for escape via extending withholding rates or avoiding new tax reductions.
