Although Utahrealizes a slight“net gain” from federal operations, the state suffers a ‘net loss’ when such federal expenditures are financed through added borrowing. Foundation analysts pointed out that Utahns pay out more than twice as muchin federal tg to meet interest costs on the national debt as individuals and institutions in the state receive back in federal interest outlays, for a per capita total of $762, or 20.9 percent of personal income. Albuquerque, N.M Roger je he sey, Total expenditures for national defense and international relations, on the other hand amounted to $88.3 billion, or 27 percentofall federal spendingin fiscal 1975, the foundation re rted. 5 Tn Utah, nationaldefense still is the largest single area of federal activity, butit is being replaced rapidly by incomesecurity as the major area of federal spending within the state. IncomeSecurity Climb Between 1970 and 1975, federal outlays in Utah for incomesecurity climbed by $287 payments. Thus, additions to the debt and increases in interest costs tend to take money out of the state, the foundation explained. _ Thefederal budget for the 1976fiscal year indicates that there will be a deficit of approximately $76 billion in this year's operations. Annual Drain Claimed Based on ‘the 1975 experience, the foundation report estimates that the net effect of this prospective deficit will be ‘‘a $12 million annual drain from individuals and business firms in Utah.” Nationally, income security payments — social security, public assistance, retirement, ete. — have surpassed national defense as the main object of federal spending programs, Last year income security paymenis throughout the United States totaled $104.2 billion, or 31.9 percentof ali federaloutlays million, or 153 percent. During this same period, federal spending in the state for national defense activities rose by only 21 percent, the foundation added. ‘The Utah Foundation study also indicates that while federal programs andactivities may have a stimulating effect on locai economies, they often proveto be liabilities to state and local government operations. Businesses Pay Half Utah Foundation, noted its studies have shown that the typical family in Utah pays only about one-half of the taxes needed to finance essential state and local services — such as schools, sewers, roads, water, police and fire protection, etc. — used by the family. The other half of the cost for such services typically is borne by the taxes paid by business and industry “The report concludes that federal programs whichdo not stimulate growth in the at tor, are likely to result in reduced local rvices or higher taxes to support such services. pes, CowboysHistory Speaker Due at BYU Clinic Set Dr. Don D.
