Congress and Johnson swap promises on federal cuts
In Our Opinion the plan by President Johnson to swap a $6 billion spending cut for a 10 percent income tax surcharge faces uncertain execution. Congress has enacted $1.3 billion in cuts and $2.4 billion in hoped savings, while approving $0.9 billion in additions, leaving a $2.5 billion savings gap. Observers doubt the $6 billion target will be met as supplemental funding looms.
