Demos threaten Reagan with siege over budget
Democrats warned President Reagan of a possible year long budget stalemate unless he negotiates tax and defense spending changes. Senator Hollings proposed higher taxes and lower defense outlays plus a one year Social Security COLA freeze while House Speaker ONeill urged the president to drop the victory mindset and seek compromise. GOP leaders discussed deficit reduction plans and possible tax boosts with social program restraint, but White House officials said the administration would not retreat. Senate Appropriations panels debated the size of Reagan’s domestic spending cuts with varying recommendations and Hatfield proposing a different figure.
