Snyder Says Taxes Likely Rise If Prices Increase
Secretary of the Treasury John W. Snyder warned that without price controls price levels rising would push taxes higher for both individuals and corporations. He urged Congress to revive rent wage and price controls and said no new tax bill would be proposed this year. He noted a tough path to a balanced 1947 budget, citing the terminal pay bill as a major hurdle. Fiscal 1946 showed an improving deficit and receipts, with expenditures just over 65 billion while last year’s spend exceeded 100 billion.
