Spending shifts threaten national security in budget debate
The 1974-75 social welfare spending reached 287 billion dollars, with health care pushing total investment to 337 billion. Inflation, unemployment, and defense funding pressures are fueling calls for ceilings while warning that open ended health and welfare programs erode military security.

A more normal U.S. Cuban relationship seems unlikely while rhetoric and policy diverge.
