Wright: Lower taxes
must go to cut deficit
United Press International
RALEIGH, N.C. — House
Majority Leader Rep. Jim Wright
said Monday that next year’s
scheduled 10 percent income tax
cut must be dropped or delayed
in order to save the deficit-
ridden federal budget.
“We’ve got to have the moxie,
gumption and common sense to
face the facts,” the Texas Demo
crat told reporters. “We’re not
going to have a balanced budget
so long as you drain off $96 bil
lion to $120 billion every year
(with the tax cut).”
Wright came to North Caroli
na to campaign for several
Democratic congressmen and
speak to the state’s Savings and
Loan League. Though he did lit
tle boosting to*the 175 S&L mem
bers, he was much more partisan
with the press.
“In North Carolina you have a
splendid, strong Democratic de
legation in the House — and may
their tribe increase,” he said.
Wright attacked President
Reagan’s economic programs
and said Reagan should not
blame those who ran the White
House before him.
“I don’t recall Harry Truman
blaming his predecessors for the
problems he had. I don’t recall
Jimmy Carter blaming Gerald
Ford,” Wright said.
He then ticked off some
Democratic alternatives:
• Press the Federal Reserve
Board to return to a policy that
keeps interest rates at a decent
level.
• Revive efforts to pass legisla
tion to boost the home building
industry. Congress passed a simi
lar bill earlier this year, but Presi
dent Reagan vetoed it.
• Set up a standby program to
repair and restore roads, bridges
and other public works.
• Boost job training and re
training programs.
