Domenici presses for tax revenues in deficit fight
In a Washington interview Senate budget chair Peter Domenici urges new taxes to meet Gramm Rudman Hollings targets. He suggests raising $12 to $20 billion this year, with beer and wine taxes possible, while warning against overtaxing the economy. He predicts only limited survival for Reagan privatization and user fees, and notes a possible $5-6 billion gap to reach an agreement, pending a defendable defense figure.
