C During the first eight months of the present pres-ent fiscal year, which began July 1, 1935, the United States spent $4,781,-964,921. $4,781,-964,921. In the corresponding eight months of the preceding fiscal year expenditures totaled $4,546,963,798. The increase, therefore, is $235,001,-123. $235,001,-123. ' . As these figures are taken from the March 2 statement of the Treasury Trea-sury Department, they must be accepted ac-cepted as correct. They mean that the Government, dufing the past eight months, has been spending close to a million dollars more each day than It spent daily only a year ago. While revenues collected this fiscal fis-cal year have increased $91,000,000 I over those of the corresponding period a year ago, the total collections collect-ions up to March 2, 1936, $2,364,- 021,675, were just about one-half the amount expended. To meet its bills the Government has been obliged to borrow more money this year than it did last. The public debt now stands at $30,516,967,451; an increase of $2,000-000,000 $2,000-000,000 over the comparable period of last year. |
