Nixon Turns To Domestic Planning And Reorganization
Jeffrey Hart outlines Nixon era long range planning including five year federal finance projections showing a 22 billion nest egg by 1975, restructuring the Budget Bureau into the Office of Management and Budget, domestic policy councils, revenue sharing, possible scrapping of Great Society programs, and a judiciary shift aligning with the president’s middle class base. The piece frames these moves as continuations of a disciplined, centralized yet cautious approach disguised as unpredictability.
