A family quickly realizes:
a. whether their disposable in
come Is sufficient to meet daily
living expenses,
(2l that IL spendable income is
short or inadequate, some type of
budget Is necessary for intelligent
distribution (know where the
money Is going).
A family is primarily faced with
two things concerning money: "a
total net income that is spendable,
and (2) total liabilities or ex-
penses that must be paid in a
certain period Of time,
The federal government is like
wise faced with two similar par
allels: a. total receipts (tncome)
and (2) total expenditures lex
penses). The two situations are
quite similar except for the fol-
lowing: whereas the average fam
lily unit has its main source OF
income from wages and salaries;
the federal governments income
is from individual, corporate and
| excise taxes, customs and other
| receipts.
On the expenditure side: where
as the family is faced with its
daily and monthly expenses Of
food, clothing. shelter, medical ex-
penses. etc, the government on a
yearly basis has expenses OF ma
ior national security defensel in
terest payments on bonds, veter-
ans payments. welfare. health, and
education. agriculture, commerce
and manpower, international obi
cations and natural resources.
AT this point a very widespread
misconception must be corrected,
namely, that our federal govern
ment is extremely wealthy,
| The point OF claritication Is
! this. the federal government itself
has no money and II not wealthy
in the sense usually connotsted. It
exists only on the funds coming in
through taxes and other receipts
and any contingency that arises
such rs a war, the government
must borrow the same as the fam
lily when an emergency befalls,
For further examination OF
this, lets go into the Federal bud
get for the fiscal year 1856 which
ends on so June, 1856.
The Federal Budget
The citizens Of this land eS-
pect the government to perform
certain functions as a necessary
part Of its duties, although they
rarely stop 10 consider how these
services are done.
The total income TO the Treas
ury each year from taxes, etc, is

of the presidents program for the
ensuing year. 1t is very complex
document having had considerable
study as to what percentage of
funds should be spent on a great
variety of governmental functions.
BY law the budget must be pre-
scented to the congress each year
within Is days of the date on
which congress convenes. IT should
be understood that the budget,
when submitted Is only estimates
and any unforeseen situations that
may arise during the fiscal year
could cause II to be balanced, show
a deficit or show a surplus. When
presented II shows the amount of
money which the government ex-
poets to receive during the fiscal
year under existing and proposed
tax laws, and how much will be
spent to carry out current govern
programs and new programs rec
commended to the Congress by the
President.
The current budget shows per
dollar income Of:

tary) Atomic Energy, stockpil-
ing.

Interest, Veterans Payments,

Miscellaneous Expenses --.... lie
From this II can readily be seen
that major national security is
two thirds of each tax dollar even
in period where we are not en-
gagged In a war.
OF course this means also that
all other expenses and the cost OF
general government is rather low
when compared to defense spend
ing.
Budget expenditures in 1856 are
estimated at S375 for each man,
woman and child in the United
states, the lowest since 1851 which
was S2sS, while the peak war

can only lightly touch the sub
ject here as it's so broad, but the
citizen should know what he's
paying for and why he must con-
tinue TO pay.
Probably the day will not come
in modern time when no taxes will
be collected from anyone, but the
hope is that we may see extremely
heavy defense spending come to an
end.
Then and only then, should the
taxpayer consider government
spending lightly meanwhile, it's
his duty to know where his tax
money is going and how long he
