Nixon's Budget In Deep Red Ink And Big Deficits

President Nixon submits a 1973 budget of 246.3 billion dollars with a 38.8 billion deficit this year and 25.5 billion next. He rejects new tax cuts or raises, seeks more defense and space funding, expands research incentives, and pushes a full employment goal while scolding Congress for higher spending.
