Perot poised to push austere tax and entitlement cuts
Ross Perot drafted a five year 800 billion deficit plan emphasizing higher federal gas taxes from 14 to 64 cents a gallon by 1998, deep Social Security cuts, ending farm subsidies, tax hikes on alcohol tobacco and timber, and major state department reforms. The plan would have overhauled foreign aid and cut dozens of federal programs including space. Analysts say it would be hard to sell and would have dominated the campaign.
