Humphrey says U S can have guns and butter in Vietnam era
Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey told business and financial leaders in Hot Springs Virginia that the United States can pay for the Vietnamese war without cutting back Great Society programs. He said the economy is larger and stronger now than in the 1950s and can absorb defense outlays without triggering inflation, noting GNP around 675 billion versus 275 billion in 1950 and defense spending near 50 billion in 1965. He did not disclose Vietnam spending but indicated it would not dwarf the Korean mobilization.
