Our Biggest Ignored Problem

money, but little or nothing
has been done to encourage
Congress to cut o Federal
budget. Thus, Secretary Hum
phrey, who announced that the
budget seemed to him too high
and that too much money was
being spent. was regarded as
saying something sensational
or at least novel. Actually, he
was not dealing with the
specific items in a budget he
did not himself make Up but
expressing an opinion on the
philosophy of high spending.
The President indicated
later that the memorandum
issued at Humphreys press
conference. giving general
comments on the budget prob
lem, had been approved at the
White House. In fact. it is
known the document was read
and Endorsed by the whole
cabinet. 1t was a statement Of
principles which it was hoped
Congress would take into ac-
count. It was like saying:
Here's our detailed budget.
but we hope you can find ways
to cut it. This is really your
responsibility"
After all, many items Of ex-
penditure are included that
are based on laws and policies
created by Congress itself in
previous years. The President
can't repeal such financial OBJ
legations.
Under our Constitution, the
authority to appropriate mon
ey is vested in Congress alone.
Under the British and Cana
dian system. the executive
makes the budget and sends
it to Parliament, where it must
be approved or disapproved as
an entity. That's a responsible
system. But in the case OF
England and Canada. the ex-
ecutive and legislative are
controlled by the same party
and there is a singleness OF
responsibility.
Nowhere in modern govern
ment is there such a glaring
example of responsibility as
in the slipshod way the Amer
lean budget is put together and
authorized by Congress-and
now it involves $72 billion a
year. 1t is something for the
Nation to begin to understand
or, as Humphrey says. one OF
these days there will be a de-
preston that will curl your
hair"
