Eisenhower Flags Proposed Tax Cuts
President Eisenhower criticized the Democratic plan to cut taxes by 20 a person next year as fiscal irresponsibility. He accused sponsors of tying the cut to extending current corporate and excise taxes and said Congress should cut wasteful spending to enable genuine tax relief. He did not commit to a possible tax cut while urging veto of any measure that raises public spending. The piece ends with a humorous note on sweet potatoes and possums amid rising prices.
