Kennedy Budget Clash on Tax Policy and Deficits
The article contrasts President Kennedy’s stance that no new taxes are needed to fund urgent requests with warnings that budget deficits could rise if security needs grow. It cites official forecasts of deficits for 1961 and 1962, plus projected gains from civil defense spending and potential tax loophole closures. Analysts disagree on whether Kennedy’s program spurred recovery, arguing growth rests on private enterprise rather than government spending.
