...would be gone. At best, the Government would be putting into the economy only as much money as it was taking out in energy taxes. The Administration appears to be gambling that recovery will have picked up enough momentum by early 1976 to make further stimulation unnecessary. That could occur, but only if consumer confidence recovers, and early reactions to Ford's plans are not reassuring. Consumers seem to be more confused than anything else. A common view is that the President is giving them new money with one hand and taking it away with the other...
