11:29:54 Senate President pro tempore watches Truman shaking hands w/ House Speaker Joseph Martin, joint session of congress applauding.
11:30:05 Truman speaks, SOF: “High prices must not be our means of rationing. We must deal effectively and at once with the high cost of living. We must stop the spiral of inflation.” (edit)
11:30:19 “Many of our families today are suffering hardship because of the high cost of living. At the same time profits of corporations have reached an all-time record in 1947. Corporate profits total $17 billion after taxes. This compared with $12 billion, 500 million dollars in 1946, the previous high year. Because of this extraordinarily high level of profits, corporations can well afford to carry a larger share of the tax load at this time.” (edit)
11:30:53 “I recommend therefore that, effective January 1, 1948, a cost of living tax credit be extended to our people consisting of a credit of $40 to each individual taxpayer & an additional credit of $40 for each dependent. (applause) Thus the income tax of a man w/ a wife & two children would be reduced $160. The credit would be extended to all taxpayers, but it would be particularly helpful to those in the low-income group.” (edit)
11:31:31 CU “When we have conquered inflation, we shall be in a position to move forward toward our chosen goals. As we do so, let us keep ever before us our high purposes.” (edit) Standing applause at end of speech).
