In turnabout, US to borrow $51b

Faltering economy and tax rebates cited

By Peter G. Gosselin Los Angeles Times, 7/31/2001

ASHINGTON - The economic slowdown, along with rebate checks for President Bush's tax cut, will force the government to borrow $51 billion by September, an about-face from its previous predictions, the Treasury Department said yesterday.

Treasury officials said Washington expects to be a net borrower of $51 billion during this quarter. The department had said earlier it would pay back $57 billion during those months.

Officials said $38 billion of the borrowed money would pay for tax rebates Americans have begun receiving, money that officials hope will fuel more spending and help the economy avoid recession.
