Truman's 21 point program for postwar prosperity
President Truman asks Congress for a 21 point plan to smooth the postwar transition toward high prosperity. He outlines wartime controls, tax relief, higher minimum wage, Social Security boosts, 3,000 new airports, housing boom, doubled salaries for lawmakers, stockpiling and disposal of war materiel, and a national health plan with broader social programs. Reactions split along party lines with calls for deeper tax cuts and higher unemployment pay. The plan’s cost is not estimated, and the message is presented as a broad program with a national health initiative forthcoming.
