Bentsen Seeks Economic Growth as Top 1976 Issue
Sen Loyd Bentsen places jobs and steady growth as the coal to beat inflation and raise living standards in 1976. He proposes a 10 percent employment tax credit on the first 8000 of salary for hiring unemployed, a youth service, and a national job clearinghouse while urging broad budget cuts and energy policy shifts. He argues for energy independence through increased coal and solar use and a phased removal of oil and natural gas price controls. He calls for stronger allied coordination on energy and hints at a fiscally focused, economics-centered foreign policy.
