Ford keeps tax cut tied to spending lid in Senate review
President Ford pressed his veto threat again as the Senate starts examining the House version carrying 13 billion in personal tax cuts for 1976. He insists any tax cut must be linked to a ceiling on federal spending, a demand echoed in a phone call with House Republican Leader Rhodes. The House rejected the spending linkage 220 to 202, while approving the tax cut 257 to 168. Senate plans hint at splitting the bill to push tax-cut features forward while deferring broader tax revisions. If enacted, a representative family of four earning 15,000 would see taxes drop modestly before potential return to 1974 rules at year’s end.
