Commission urges switch to welfare boost after war end
The National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence urged shifting from a war defense economy to a higher general welfare spend of about 20 million dollars annually after Vietnam, to fund homes, jobs, education, and social programs while maintaining military levels. It warned internal dangers loom from urbanization and discrimination, stressing the need to expand criminal justice and tackle social conditions fueling crime. The panel, led by Milton Eisenhower, noted long-term federal spending priorities favor defense and space but called for redirected funds to address social injustice and unmet needs.
