Ford Budget Aims at restraint with defense push
President Ford presents a 1977 budget seeking restraint in spending while affirming a large defense rise to 100.1 billion dollars. He trims 20 billion in nondefense outlays, phases out public service and extended unemployment benefits, and proposes broad state control over federal programs with a 10 billion block grant for health and welfare. The plan also features income tax cuts, Social Security tax hikes, Medicare changes, and targeted reductions in foreign aid and food subsidies.
