Democrats Clash With Big Business In Economic Recovery Plan
In Kansas City last week the Democratic party unveiled an economic recovery program that faces opposition from big business. Democrats favor wage price controls while corporate leaders warn such measures could deepen troubles. NAM critics call controls economic perversion and fear distortions in markets. Executives say profits are misunderstood, noting inflation has distorted returns on sales versus investment and that capital is harder to attract. Harold Shaub of Campbell Soup urged better messaging from industry. The Democrats cite tax reform as needed, while big business argues federal spending fuels recurring crises. NAM attendees fear anti-recession moves may come too quickly, risking more inflation in 1975 and 1976. The piece suggests ordinary Americans feel affronted by the perceived tilt toward public spending to shield households. A list of U.S. senators and representatives from Pennsylvania is included.

The space echoes with empty trunks of baseballs, wrestling gear, and jokes about life with old friends who have grown up, married, and started families. The room’s silence mirrors the passage of youth into adulthood.
