-- Debt Rise Tells Of
Needed Gov’t. Economy
A significant commentary on one of the majftr forces in today’s economy is provided by the Bureau of the Census in long-term figures ^owihg lh"e“ spect'aculfir rise over the years in the debt of all government — Federal, state and local.
These figures show that government debt at these various levels increased by a total of more than a quarter of a trillion dollars since the turn of the century, with a great part of this jump occurring in the last decade. This increase is a measure of the extent that government bodies at all levels have been living jbeyond their incomes for years. Interest payments alone on such a sum now require billions of dollars annually. Combined with the heavy burden of taxation in general the debt situation therefore emphasizes the need for the strictest economy at every level of government along with rigid adherence to pay-as-you-go policies to eliminate tiae need for further borrowing.
