Congress speeds Carter stimulus through budget plan
Congress moves fast to clear room in the 1977 budget for Carter's 50 rebate and job program with Senate approval of 17.2 billion and House consideration of 17.3 billion. The measures set the stage for the first year of a 31 billion two-year proposal while leaving key questions unresolved. Critics call the rebate ineffective though debate continues on whether rebates or permanent tax cuts are preferable. Senate deficits range from 68.2 to 70.3 billion, labeled potentially the highest ever.
