Nixon push for full employment budget faces mixed signals
Better Business notes signs of wage restraint in some sectors as Nixon unveils a $229.2 billion full employment budget sent to Congress. Outlays rise by $16.5 billion, with an estimated $11.6 billion deficit and uncertainty over final deficit size. Nixon defends the plan as expansionary yet noninflationary if revenues at full employment cover spending. He cites housing growth, higher state and local spending, lower rates, and auto industry recovery as expansionary forces, but offers no firm forecast for real output or 1971 price gains.
