Show SPENDING, NOT SAVING In addition to the carefully compiled national budget, congressmen con-gressmen have introduced bills requiring further outlay of $3,500,-000,000, $3,500,-000,000, which figures include $160,000,000 estimated as cost of administration of the bonus for first year under the act recently passed pass-ed by the House. Most of this money which Congress is seeking to withdraw from the treasury would be expended in pursuits entirely apart from the authorized activities of the government. If enacted, these measures would more than double governmental govern-mental activities and require services of approximately 1,000,000 new employees. Taxes would increase to three times their wartime volume. The public is grasping the fact that Congress is a "spending" and not a "saving" organization. |
