National Debt Payments Before Tax Cuts Ike Says
The article reports a 0.4 percent June rise in the cost of living to a record high as measured by the CPI, driven by food costs. Commissioner Clague says the surge is largely seasonal and not a sign of an unstoppable rise. Take home pay reached new highs, but purchasing power declined due to higher prices, with the typical single man earning $73.66 and a three dependent worker $81.21 per week.
