Ford Budget Faces Tough Tradeoffs and Tax Shifts
President Ford proposes a 1977 budget with higher defense outlays and Social Security tax increases while curbing welfare programs. He seeks a $10 billion income tax cut this year and $28 billion next year, aiming for a balanced budget by 1979 but warning unemployment will stay high. The plan would give states broad control over 59 federal programs and raises Social Security taxes by three tenths of a percent in 1977.
