Lending bill approval pushed amid jobs claim
The banking committee urged swift approval of the administration’s $2.49 billion lending bill, arguing it would create 500000 jobs. The report to the Senate by Majority Leader Barkley says carpenters, bricklayers, masons, ditch diggers, and other skilled workers would benefit, with secondary impact in building materials industries. The RFC would borrow to finance phases, with repayments aiding debt guidance, and the program reportedly involves no net increase in public debt. Republicans may seek amendments to trim loans and revise powers, while heavy cuts were made to road and railroad funding before sending the measure to the Senate.
