1929 Outlook Forecast for 1999 Economic Trends
Economists foresee a moderate 1999 business upturn if no unforeseen upset occurs, though early months stay stationary. Government borrowing will stimulate, with the national debt surpassing 44 billion dollars next fiscal year. Unemployment may ease slightly from about 10 million, but relief remains the major expense. The United States News predicts more strikes, ongoing farm subsidy gains, and unresolved farm problems. European war unlikely, but Germany and Italy may press for more territory without fighting. Congressional debates on spending and defense loom, outcome uncertain.
