Long Want List To Congress
President Truman urged a 1952 tax hike near two billion dollars to raise revenue by boosting rates and closing loopholes while dropping pay-as-you-go mobilization for now. He forecast a difficult year with large deficits and warns against cutting defense to balance the budget. The plan seeks to avoid inflation and keeps the government on a pay-as-you-go path after peak military spending, with Congress expected to oppose broad rate increases. The economic advisers warn inflation risk if controls loosen.
