Former Federal Reserve Chair Paul Volcker testified before the National Economic Commission that modest increases in liquor, tobacco, and gasoline taxes could reduce the federal deficit without harming the economy. He argued real value of the sin taxes is down from years past and urged a net restraint of 30 to 40 billion dollars annually toward balance by 1993, acknowledging some tax rises may be needed alongside spending cuts.
