National Debt Peak Forecast in Treasury Report
The Treasury forecast a new peak in the national debt with total outlays of about 9.89 billion for the current year and a 6.63 billion operating deficit. Emergency costs and budget requests by Roosevelt would raise spending and debt further, with large sums tied to emergency programs and public works. The 1935 outlook envisions pay-as-you-go budgeting and a debt reduction path, aided by reduced deficits and a threefold increase in six-month spending.
