PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS PLAYING DIRTY POOL WITH INFLATION PROBLEM BUDGET SHOWS by Jack Rider One neither has to have a degree m economics nor polit ical'science to understand that both President Nixon and con gress are playing dirty pool on the inflation problem. Politically each is pointing at the other and playing the old game of the kettle calling the pot black and collectively they look at the private sector of the nation which produces all wealth arid try to hang the cause of in ' flation on higher wages for truck drivers and higher profits for > widowed holders of a few shar es of stock. The tabulation included with this article was introduced into the December 22, 1970 Congres sional Record by Congressman Neal Smith of Iowa, was point ing with pride to the accomplish ' ments of the about to expire 91st congress.

When one looks a trifle more closely at this tabulation, and notes that it does not include the huge increases which be come effective January 1st in the social security tax bite and further reflects that the in crease already scheduled is like ly to be considerably less than, will finally be written into the law shortly after the 92nd con gress is convened the magnitude of federal perfidy on the issue of inflation multiplies. When one reflects further, as this tabulation shows, that but for the final reduction of almost $3 billion in the budget of the department of defense the in crease would have been hideous ly higher. And although the President and Congress both took some pleasure m this kind of tabula tion, it needs to he born in mind that even after congress cut $1.8 billion off the President’s bud getary requests, the budget still went up almost $15 billion. Only two items in the tabula tion showed decreases over the previous budget year: Defense, already noted and foreign aid which fell $24.6 million. The smaller tabulation includ ed with this article shows the adjusted per cent of the total budget allocated to defense and to assorted welfare, health, hous ing and education projects, lumped under the heading-“Hu man Resources.” In 1957 the total federal ex penditure was $69,433,078,427, which means that in that long ago year federal spending on these “Human Resources” pro jects totalled some more than APPROPRIATIONS BILLS PASSED BY 91st CONGRESS, 2nd SESSION, FOR FISCAL 1971 Dept, or Agencies Education_-_ Legislative _ Treasury-Post Office President Nixon’s Request $3,966,824,000 421,414,889 _ 9,567,693,900 Independent Offices-HUD 17,468,223,500 State, Justice, Commerce and Judiciary_ Interior __ Amount appropriated $4,420,145,000 413,054,220 9,525,711,000 17,709,525,300 Request compared to appropriation up $453,321,000 down 8,360,679 down 41,982,000 np 241,301,800 Transportation 3,251,200,000 1,839,974600 2,553,816,437 3,108,074,500 1,835,474,700 2,458,134,605 down 143,125,500 down 4,499,900 down 95,681,832 Amount appropriated last year $3,813,777,650 344,326,817 ' 8,783,245,000 t 15,111,870,500 - 2,354,432,700 1,380675,300 1,929,738,630 District of Columbia (Federal funds) _ Foreign assistance .

This year if the estimate proves reasonably ac curate the federal expenditure in these several fields will ex ceed $59 billion. This represents an increase in just 14 years of about $44 bil lion or more than 400 per cent, and yet a vast majority of the people in the nation still com plain that not enough is being done in these several categories. There are few unions or cor porations capable of claiming a record of more than a 400 per cent increase in the past 14 years. Today more than one person out of six who is working, is on either a federal, state, coun ty, or city payroll. They total nearly 12 million. Another 22 million! draw social security checks and about two million more draw either compensation or pension checks from the Vet erans Administration. Still ano ther six million draw welfare checks. In many instances, of course, these lists overlap, reducing the total number to considerably less than the total of these fig ures might reflect. Many per sons draw social security and welfare checks. Many others draw veteran and social security benefits and many who work in government draw veterans ben efits for wartime injuries and disabilities. So when the President or any economy-talking member of con gress begins blowing the whistle on pay raises for union work ers or profits of private enter prise they should first take a look at what’s happening to the budgets of the nation’s biggest business which they are “man aging.”
