President Nixon told Congress he seeks full prosperity in 1971 with more jobs and better business while rejecting price and wage controls and avoiding a formal target timetable. The 300 page economic report notes aims of unemployment around 6 percent dropping to 4.4 by mid 1972 and inflation near 3 percent, with GNP rising about 6 percent to 1.065 trillion. The plan relies on free markets, greater federal spending under the full employment budget, and actions to counter wage and price rises amid a GM strike and housing gains.
Highlights include that nearly 2000 diseases may be hereditary, freezing shortens things, Laplanders are among Europe’s smallest people, a left handed boomerang targets southpaws, and average toy spending and kids’ gifts. Also a quip about ending an argument by hanging up and a sobering thought on alcoholics.
The reports foresee output rising by 88 billion with inflation easing to 4.2 percent and unemployment near five percent next year. Deficits are viewed as necessary to spur expansion, while productivity gains and underused capacity suggest room to grow without triggering severe inflation.
