$40 Billion u. S.
Budget Seen In
-.
Next Ten Years

Continued pressures on the Fed
eral Government to increase ex-
penditures could result in Fed
eral tax burden of $40 billion or
more annually within the next 10
years unless the public puts a
bride on them This is the con-
clusion of the Council of State
Chambers of Commerce. Here are
some of the facts assembled by the
Councils research team which
lead to that conclusion:
Scores of new Federal spending
measures are now being urged
upon Congress. If passed, they
could add as much as $25 billion
eventually to the nations annual
tax burden.
The presidents 1851 Federal
Budget Message calls for a total
expenditure next year of more
than S45 billion, including So bill
lion for social security programs
financed by payroll taxes. But
that's just the beginning.
The proposed budget contains
almost 81 billion 1886 million to
be exact to initiate "a new Fed
eral spending programs. Many
of these would carry on indef-
initely and grow much larger. 1t
is estimated that they would even
tually add $4 billion year to pre-
sent Federal tax burdens.
Then there are the Presidents
proposals for expanded Social Sc
curity benefits and for a National
Health Insurance system, often re-
ferred to as "socialized medicine"
Financed by payroll taxes, they
would require an estimated out
lay of $13 billion annually when
fully under way. And the cost
would increase with the passing
years
Congressional approval is being
urged for the Brannan farm sab
sidy plan. Promoters of this plan
have offered no estimates of its
probable cost. A conservative es-
innate by several authorities
places it at SIS or S6 billion year.
Legislation authorizing nearly s.
billion in new public works pro-
jects has been approved by both
houses of Congress. This expendi-
ture is to be spread over a period
of years. Congress also has be-
fore it more than 300 bills provid-
ing for a wide variety of new
Federal grants-in-aid to States
and local governments. If all the
programs covered in these bills
were to win approval, they would
eventually add over $6 billion a
year to the Federal spending bud
get.
Meanwhile Uncle Sam finds
himself with insufficient tax re-
venues even to balance his 1850
and 1851 budgets. Latest Budget
