Government bailouts of defense firms exceed eighty five million
The Department of Defense has used emergency authority to grant eighty five point nine million dollars in aid to defense contractors since 1959. Dozens of firms near bankruptcy were rescued, some later folded or were absorbed, with no clear accountability from the defense secretary. The record highlights Lockheed Corp and Memcor cases, where price adjustments and loans masked the financial strain.

It adds an elderly property tax credit, oil and gas investment credit, and tuition credit for nonpublic schools, plus a simplified 1040S form. Shultz pitched it as fair sharing with no general tax increase, but officials anticipate net revenue gain of 800 million versus 1.1 billion in lost benefits.
