Carter Backs Lean Budget Aims Cuts Yet Defers Revenue Sharing
President Carter sent Congress a lean and austere 1980 budget totaling 531.6 billion with a 29 billion deficit. It increases defense and aid to the poor while trimming jobs programs and freezing other state and city programs. The plan delays a commitment to continue revenue sharing beyond 1980 and faces party pushback. The proposal seeks to slow federal spending growth to 7.7 percent in 1980, and notes a potential balanced budget only when conditions permit.
