Tax cuts spark heated debate in Congress
Rep. Jenkins backs partial corporate tax cuts as rates face reform. The corporate income tax currently at 2 percent is slated to fall to 47 percent by April 1 unless Congress acts. Democrats push for higher rates to curb revenue loss, while Republicans resist. McCormack supports modest personal exemptions increases for dependents as Ways and Means drafts tax reform. The deficit projection remains large with Eisenhower’s budget forecasting near three billion dollars and Treasury predicting higher deficits if rates are extended.
