...finance federal job-creating programs]. I wouldn't be surprised if certain tax reforms go in place early in his term-investment tax credits, faster [one or two years] write-offs for, say, pollution-control facilities, elimination of the double taxation of dividends." If Carter does take that tack, he is almost certain to draw enthusiastic support-and the investment dollars to back it up-from corporate board rooms and Chambers of Commerce throughout the country...
...higher than the $413 billion Congress has agreed to. Advisers to Democrat Jimmy Carter think that will not be enough to counteract the shortfall.

It is clear now that Palladino doesn't have a chitling...
