Regan Foresees Tax Cut Fight but Supports Plan
Regan said the administration expects a bruising floor fight in the House over its tax cut proposals but anticipates victory. Budget Director Stockman argued the administration has the votes to pass the package and resisted class-conflict framing. Regan cited 11 million jobs and a tilt toward low and middle income Americans while criticizing a wealth redistribution Democrats’ plan. Speaker ONeill countered with a middle class friendly tax cut outlook. Regan reassured Social Security beneficiaries that checks will continue and Social Security won’t go broke.
