Congress to examine the 100 billion dollar budget as lawmakers express concern over wasteful spending and its effect on the war effort. If enacted by July, total war costs could reach 400 billion with debt over 250 billion, while tax receipts would fall far short.

World war strategy and potential Pacific cutbacks loom over funding decisions.
