Show FromWhere Cuts in defense spending likely will hurt Utah's economy I Sit" By Allan R. Gibson Because Utahs economy is affected by federal defense spending to a much greater degree than that of most other states, the winding down of the cold war may have an adverse effect on the states economy, says the Utah Foundation. According to the study, de- department expenditures in Utah last year totaled nearly $2 billion and were equal to 32.2 percent of all federal spending in the state. This percentage was more than a third higher than the U.S. average of 23.4 percent.' Moreover, approximately 9.5 of all Utah personal in- come in 1989 was derived from defense expenditures, compared Well the fats in the fire or shall we say in the drink.

Recent events in Europe and other parts of the world and the reduction in international tensions have raised expectations that the United States may make substantial cuts in defense expenditures. Historic-fens- e ally, large reductions in defense budgets were made following World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. National economists indicate that the long-tergains from such a peace dividend will be felt nationwide, but the term pain will be concentrated in a few places.

The foundation report notes that Utahs share of the taxes needed to pay for all federal spending programs was $5,237 billion. Thus, it would appear that Utah realized a net gain of about $954 million from federal operations in the state during 1989. In other words, federal money coming into the state from federal spending programs was about 18 percent more than Utahs share of the federal taxes required to finance all federal expenditures.
