Pucinski cites joblessness at Chicago area dinner
Congressman Roman Pucinski urged Democrats at a Morris VFW hall dinner that unemployment and underemployment are rising under Nixon. He cited six million unemployed and six million underemployed, with two million working poor, and warned of a $40 billion federal deficit this year. He backed full employment and opposed a federal sales tax while targeting defense spending and education, Medicare, and social security as protected expenditures. The senator-to-be said his victory in the primary sets up a race with Charles Percy, amid a Gallup poll showing 37 percent loss of confidence in government.
