Truman Holds Brannan Plan as Election Looms
President Truman keeps the Brannan plan ready as Congress debates farm policy. He avoids vetoing current price support bills while aiming to influence the farm vote. White House strategists see the plan as key to 1952 gains, despite farmers and nonpolitical groups opposing it. The debate centers on tying taxpayer costs to high farm income, with surpluses rising and public outcry over waste. The author argues for a revenue-neutral, market-based approach that keeps producers solvent without expanding government spending.
