Stockman calls farm aid a blackmail tactic in debt crisis
Budget Director David Stockman said the administration will offer short term credit relief for farmers to gain long term reform of farm price supports. He warned lawmakers that farmers and lenders created today’s debt problems and that political pressure may force new aid before reform. The administration’s farm program overhaul by John Block was to be unveiled later, as the banking group pressed for changes to the loan guarantee plan.
