MONEYS WORTH
Shrinking Budget

How much has the budget
grown during the Eisenhower
administration?
According to official docu-
ments, the budget has jumped
$12 billion since Mr.. Eisenhower
came into office-from $67.8
billion to an estimated $79.8
billion.
But is this simple dollar COM
parison a trustworthy yardstick
of the rise in the budget?
1t is not. 1t is strictly a sta
tistical measurement. a figure
in a theoretical vacuum. 1t is a
dollar total that can be worse
than meaningless because it is
so misleading.
No intelligent housewife would
weigh how much more her fam
lily is spending than in 1858
unless she also weighed how
much bigger her family's in
come was. No self-respecting
corporate treasurer would re-
port to his board of directors
on the company's spending
plans without simultaneously
presenting figures to place the
spending in perspective.
Comparison offered
The only way to judge the
size of today's Federal budget
Is to view it against the back
ground of the Nations income,
production and price level. When
you do that, you will find:
We are devoting a smaller
share of the nations income to
the Federal budget today than
in 1858;
In terms of output of goods
and services, the budget hasn't
grown at all during the Eisen-
hover era;
When the rise in the price
level is taken into considera-
ton, even the surface increase
Of S12 billion in the budget
under Eisenhower dwindles by
billions.
Today's budget is hardly that

when you view it in these terms.
On the contrary, there is the
real danger that it is the bud

self into the status of a second
rate power.
Let me illustrate the funda-
mental points made here with
statistics that no honest OBJ
server can challenge as biased
or phony.
First, here's the budget in
terms of national income
which presumably indicates
what the nation can afford
to spend.
In 1853 the national income
was $305.6 billion. The share
Of the nations income going to
the Federal budget was a bit
over % per cent.
Today the national income is
about 1891 billion. It'll be much
bigger by the time the 1861
budget goes into effect, but
even now the share going to
the budget is down to 20.5 per
cent.

Considered against the back
