George Bush Sr. on Budget & Economy

1992 growth plan: deregulate & cut taxes

Bush’s 1992 State of the Union address offered a plan for economic growth that called for a moratorium on new government regulations on business, a cut in the capital gains tax, and the elimination of numerous domestic programs he deemed undeserving of federal funding. He also endorsed a health-insurance tax credit for poor families and a tax credit for first-time home buyers. Congress adopted some of his proposals, but Bush vetoed the final bill because it raised taxes on the wealthy. Source: Grolier Encyclopedia on-line, “The Presidency” Dec 25, 2000
