Bush unveils revamped economic plan
The Associated Press
DETROIT — President Bush yesterday laid out a repackaged economic manifesto and suggested a 1 percent across-the-board tax cut would be possible if Congress followed his spending recommendations.
Bush also proposed cutting the pay of federal officials making more than $75,000 a year by 5 percent. He said, "Americans have tightened their belts and so should better-paid federal workers."
He promised to slash spending at the White House by a third if Congress would pare its own operating budget by as much.
Bush's goal is to nearly double the nation's $6 trillion economy to $10 trillion by the early years of the next century — an ambitious target considering the slow economic growth of the past few years.
Democratic presidential rival Bill Clinton quickly dismissed the proposals, which, he said, would add up to
big tax cuts for the rich, little for average wage-earners and harder times for Medicare recipients, disabled veterans and others receiving benefits likely to be cut to pay for the lower taxes.
"We've tried this for 12 years," he said. "Now two weeks ago, we knocked out the backpackers."
The Treasury Department said a 1 percent reduction in the tax rate would be worth $5 a week — $260 a year— to a four-member family earning the an income of $43,000 and claiming itemized deductions. That represents a $6½ percent reduction in the family's $3,900 tax liability, said Treasury representative Rich Meyers. A day after Bush told a New Jersey audience that he would never go along with another Democratic tax increase, presidential representative Marlin Fitzwater said that Bush was not repeating his famous broken pledge of 1988: "Read my lips — no new taxes."
Bush's newly repackaged economic
plan was an attempt to deflect criticism that he hasn't focused enough attention on the economy.
"I know that times have been difficult, very difficult, for many Americans," Bush told the Detroit Economic Club.
During a question-and-answer period, he said he would debate Clinton though the Bush campaign so far has refused to accept a bipartisan committee's proposal for three presidential debates.
Bush's economic speech was accompanied by release of a 29-page booklet entitled "Agenda for American Renewal." The booklet was to be offered free to the public by Bush in a five-minute campaign ad focusing on the economy.
Although the booklet has a blue cover and resembles a budget document, it was printed by the Bush-Quyle '92 campaign. Aides stressed that the campaign's proposals did not amount to formal recommendations to Congress.
Bush to visit Missouri towns
From Kansan staff and wire reports
