U. S. Ends Fiscal 1951 With Second Biggest Surplus
The fiscal year 1951 ended with the United States reporting a likely surplus near 3.3 billion dollars, the second largest in history. Revenues rose from tax hikes and inflation, costs fell from lower farm support outlays, some federal spending was trimmed, and military expenditures did not reach anticipated levels, suggesting possible further surpluses could be scarce amid future red ink unless taxes rise or spending is altered. The record high remains 8.419 billion in 1948, with 1951 benefiting from wartime economy.
