Ford tax cut plan facing congressional defeat in 1975
AP reports President Ford's $28 billion tax cut linked to matching spending cuts is predicted to fail in Congress. Democrats offer alternatives, accusing the plan of political motivation. Proxmire and Mahon oppose permanent tax cuts before 1976 elections, while Ullman proposes a 3 percent tax credit. A Senate Budget Committee staff suggests a $20 billion personal cut plus extension of the 1975 $17 billion reduction, potentially lowering unemployment by 1980.
