In a Senate Finance Committee hearing Sen Kerr accuses the administrations fiscal plan of being catastrophic. He cites figures claiming labor gained 3.7 percent of national income while farmers and small businesses fell, and corporate profits and interest income rose significantly. Kerr argues bonds lose value, boosting bank windfalls and tax losses, while Humphrey defends policy as stabilizing inflation.
