Description

A budget designed to reduce the US national debt by increasing taxes has created problems for US President, George H. W. Bush, who pledged not to raise taxes in his election campaign; and his flippant response to a journalist’s question has led to despair in the Republican Party. Richard Vigary(?) warns moving Republican principles to the left will result in one big explosion. Report by Nick Peters for LBC Newstalk Breakfast includes excerpts of speeches by Bush.
