New Evidence Economy Heating Under Inflation Pressure
Government figures show continued heat in the economy with a $6 billion rise in personal income in the first half, half from a federal pay raise. Federal spending rose modestly, yielding a $9.6 million quarterly surplus, while corporate profits declined slightly due to the General Motors strike. Treasury Secretary Kennedy warned inflation remains a concern and tax cuts may lower revenues. An economist notes sustained personal income growth supports the economy avoiding a recession, though flat profits worry investors over the longer term.

Treasury chief warns tax reform risks and loopholes
Treasury Secretary David M Kennedy warned that the house passed tax reform bill leaves too many escapes for the wealthy and could reduce revenues and fuel inflation. He said amendments will be proposed in Senate hearings set for September 4 and pointed to possible changes affecting oil depletion and intangible drilling costs. Kennedy stressed the need to guard against long term fiscal risks while noting lower taxes could strain domestic programs and inflation.
