War Budget Aims to Drive U S Debt Above One Hundred Ten Billions
President Roosevelt urged a wartime budget of 56 billion dollars for the coming year with 9 billion in new taxes, plus borrowing to push the federal debt beyond 110 billion. He called it the biggest budget in world history and warned of heavy taxation and sacrificed comforts for national unity. The plan envisions 59.0 billion in total expenditures, including interest and nonmilitary costs, funded by taxes, social security borrowing, and new trust fund draws, amid unprecedented war spending. He sought an initial 13.6 billion for war programs and outlined tax hikes including social security and income taxes while resisting a general sales tax for now.
