Treasury Sees Less Hope For Big Tax Cut After War
The Treasury's Division of Tax Research says it is misheading to compare prewar expenditures with war-time revenues. Even with high employment, postwar income payments will be lower, and tax revenue would fall as overtime pay ends and war industries close. With a postwar national income near 125 billion dollars, the tax system would bring in about 25 billion, excluding social security taxes. Expenditures will rise, including interest on the public debt, the military establishment, and veterans programs. A 25 percent tax cap without further cuts would still leave a deficit and no budget surplus.
