Carter urges tax rebates to spark economy and trims wage checks
President-elect Jimmy Carter proposed tax rebates and increased government spending to stimulate the economy and said wage and price controls are unlikely. He forecast unemployment dropping to 4 percent to 4.5 percent over two to four years from 7.9 percent, and favored targeted inflation control rather than nationwide programs. He declined details on plans, said money supply could rise via rebates and spending, and announced Jody Powell as White House press secretary. He will meet Burns and Ford officials in Washington and conduct deliberate cabinet selections.
