Expansionary fiscal policy tax cuts eyed again by Johnson advisers
Washington President Johnson's economic team pushes expansionary fiscal policy as a new stimulant. Congress debates repeal of excise taxes with about 5 billion in tax cuts set to start July 1 and January 1. Economists predict consumers will gain roughly 10 billion in disposable income, boosting national output as prices may fall only if producers pass savings through. The council notes past tax cuts revived growth, reduced deficits, and spurred plant investment, while warning of possible later drag if spending outpaces tax revenue.
