Spending, Ethiopia, and Truman Program in Capitol Lines
A 1974 column critiques federal budgeting inclinations to overspend in Labor Health Education and Welfare bringing total to about 39 billion dollars for the year. It questions U.S. aid to Ethiopia amid Haile Selassie’s overthrow, and attacks Truman Memorial Scholarship financing as a risky borrowing scheme. The piece notes Metrobus losses and cites misstatements by Volpe and Metro leadership, ending with a discussion on rising plea bargaining leniency and a high profile cocaine case.
