Reagan budget to Congress projects 1985 deficit at 180 billion
The 1985 budget sent to Congress shows a 180 billion dollar deficit with federal outlays of 925.5 billion. No major tax increases are planned as spending rises 14 percent in military programs while non military domestic cuts total about 5 billion. The plan projects deficits of 177 billion in 1986 and 180 billion in 1987 with falling deficits afterward due to Social Security tax changes.
