Smathers Criticizes Tax Proposals in Debt Limit Debate
Senator Smathers of Florida challenged the omnibus tax revision bill arguing that lawmakers cannot back all tax cuts while opposing a rise in the national debt limit. He urged resolving the debt issue before floor debate as the Finance Committee prepares to report the measure. The proposal, about 875 pages, would cut taxes by roughly 1.4 billion dollars in year one, offset partly by a one year extension of the 62 percent corporate tax rate to yield about 1.2 billion dollars, with further revenue loss in later years.
