He cites the $1 billion atomic airplane, $2 billion Skybolt, $1 billion Dinosaar, $450 million Navy PGM, $70 million radio telescope, and $100 million Goose decoy missile among many items. He argues totalized figures will spur public action against spending raids on taxpayer money.

Theodore H Lang urges departments to place 16 to 20 year olds in training and work programs including 4 000 in the Federal Job Corps and at least 20 000 more in other phases, with street cleaning and trash removal as trained muscle work. Pay would come from outside existing budgets and the payroll rise not intended to replace current staff.
