Burns criticizes Carter fiscal plan in congressional testimony
Federal Reserve chairman Arthur F. Burns told the House Banking Committee that he disagreed with the timing and size of President Carter's economic program and singled out the $50 per person tax rebate as especially questionable. He urged tax cuts for corporations and an employer of last resort concept, but warned the Treasury cannot freely borrow to fund rebates. Burns said money supply growth could suffice and cautioned against printing presses, while praising Carter for resisting external pressures and keeping figures modest.
