Price Rise Slows Yet Food Housing Lead May Increase
Worth notes that Southland prices in May rose less than in early 1970s benchmarks but still climbed across major categories. Food costs led with a 1 percent May rise and 3.2 percent year over year, meals out up 0.4 percent, and home food purchases up 1.2 percent. Housing jumped 1.9 percent, 6 percent higher than a year ago, driven by a 3 percent rise in buying and financing a home and a 0.6 percent uptick in utility rates. Nationally, maintaining an intermediate lifestyle for a four person family rose to 12,063 dollars in May, with a small boost to real spendable earnings after taxes and inflation.

Senate approves limited crackdown on tax shelters
The Senate backed a Finance Committee plan to curb tax shelter abuse by high income investors, rejecting an effort to end all shelters. The measure would tax unrealized losses and limit deductions to amounts actually invested, while keeping some breaks to preserve investment incentives. The vote split 62 to 16, with a later 44 to 34 vote restricting tax avoidance via limited partnerships.
