Miller says tax cut would be hasty amid recession
Treasury Secretary G William Miller reaffirmed the Carter administration’s opposition to a tax cut this year despite political pressure. He cited the need to hold down spending and shrink the budget gap to fight inflation and warned it was unlikely Congress would pass a favorable tax measure this session.
