Democrats Propose $2 Billion Public Works Hike
Washington Democrats unveil a plan to add at least 2 billion dollars for public works to spur jobs. Rep Wright of Texas says the bill will be introduced with President elect Carter's backing, aiming to expand beyond the existing 2 billion package. Carter and Wright discuss figures after economic meetings, while Rep Ullman proposes a 5 to 10 billion tax benefit plan for businesses employing unemployed workers. Wright estimates the 2 billion plan could create 300,000 jobs, with potential further increases to 4 billion. The debate follows critiques by the U.S. Conference of Mayors over uneven fund distribution.
