10-billion can be cut out.
Plainly, the government does not have to cost |27-billion for non-military services. But it will go on costing that much and more as long as spending gets more votes than saving. Those 'who never protest are always counted in favor of spending.
How well does ^>e Administration know what it is doing? Last February President Truman said that the government iwould need $ 16-billion in new taxes to pay its way this year. In April Secretary Snyder thought $ 10-billion would do. Now ' the House hdh passed a politically designed bill for g7.2-billion—a bill that will encourage^inflation, reduce the incentive to work, and that is thoroughly unscientific. It is now before the Senate.
The appropriations are still to come. Will the people get out their pens and pencils and tell Congress to stop throwing their money away?
