Taft Amendment Proposes Budget Cap Under Fifty-Five Billion
Sen. Taft and Sen. Ferguson propose a constitutional amendment to curb federal spending to about 55 billion dollars annually, about 30 billion less than President Truman’s 1953 budget. The plan limits expenditures to 5 percent of estimated national income, allows military costs by law, and requires a two thirds Senate and House vote to raise the public debt except for war needs. The sponsors say reducing military outlays and overall spending to 18 percent of national income would preserve a free economy.
