Kansas State University economist Ted Haggart warns that a weak economy will persist into early 1981 with prime rates around 20 percent and monetary policy kept tight by the Federal Reserve. He cites slow inflation reduction, slower growth, and high unemployment as necessary to lower rates and stabilize credit. He notes potential tax changes and spending cuts could ease demand for credit and help housing and autos recover.
