Budget deficit near record in new $458.5 billion plan
A Senate House conference committee approved a $458.5 billion budget for 1977 that projects a $61 billion deficit, the second largest in history. The plan counts on continued high unemployment and only modest growth, with no income tax cuts. The deficit rises from $15.1 billion this year but trails last year’s $65.4 billion record. Total spending sits just under the $462.8 billion presidential recommendation.
