Congress to Get Painless Plan On Budget Deficit
Rep. Mills proposes a painless 5 billion boost in government revenues by forcing corporations to pay 1949 taxes six months early. The plan would cancel new tax increases, avoid individual tax changes, and convert a projected 3 billion dollar deficit for 1949-50 into a 1.7 billion dollar surplus. It would not alter long term tax totals.
