Taft proposes $3.5 billion tax cut amid budget debate
Senator Taft argued Congress can reduce income taxes by 3.5 billion dollars even if it does not vote the full 4.5 billion dollar budget cut. He joined a Republican policy session to discuss counter proposals from Millikan Gurney and others and indicated support for the larger cut with revenue gains from extended excise taxes. Taft warned the party to avoid overpromising while exploring a path that could leave a 6 billion dollar cushion between revenues and outlays for the new fiscal year.
