Policy changes urged as economy faces 1977 risk
Washington AP The Joint Economic Committee staff warns that without major federal policy changes the recovery from recession could sputter out by 1977 with unemployment near 8 percent. The report criticizes Ford's 395 billion 1977 spending ceiling and says extending 1975 tax cuts into 1977 is needed to avoid higher unemployment and lower growth, noting potential 0.3 percentage point rise in unemployment if cuts expire. The piece ends noting the nickel subway fare disappeared in 1948.
