It's Politician's Choice Not the People's Choice
A Tribune view argues President Johnson's plan to raise federal income taxes to curb inflation is a political ploy. It contends debt and excessive spending fuel inflation and predicts the Democratic Party will lose control of the House in 1966. The piece labels Johnson's stance as arrogant and criticizes Congress-shifting narratives and wartime budgets. It cites Navy Thresher debris reports and rural renewal loan authority as contemporaneous items.
