Greenspan says favors tax cuts, limits on spending


Thursday February 12, 11:28 am ET

WASHINGTON, Feb 12 (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan told Congress on Thursday that controlling spending is a better way to cut the ballooning U.S. budget deficit than raising taxes.

"In addressing this budget issue, it is crucially important that we try to find, wherever we can, reductions in outlays before adverting to the question of revenues to fill in the gap," Greenspan told members of the Senate Banking Committee after testifying on the U.S. economy.

Cutting spending is more likely to ensure a stable fiscal outlook, while increased taxes may inhibit growth in the economy and cut into the government's tax revenues, he said.
