In Hot Springs Caspar Weinberger argues Nixon’s budget plan sticks to a simple rule: if funds aren’t available, don’t spend. He suggests a veto or withholding on some appropriation bills to avoid a tax increase amid Congress approving about $8 billion more than the $250 billion target for fiscal 1973.
The piece accuses Congress of a spending spree with many members courting voters. It notes the President’s veto override and a rejected plea to hold line on money bills. It cites an $8 billion overrun as evidence of what it calls enemies to sound government.

Washington regulators and the NAIC move to draft a national code to curb deceptive ad practices in mail order hospital insurance. Critics say poor and elderly buyers are misled by low benefit plans priced annually between 50 and 100 dollars, while insurers deny wrongdoing.
NAIC plans December submission on new rules for mail order hospitalization policies. Four states move to require minimum benefits, with Florida aiming 65 cents per premium dollar after year three and Nevada 60 cents. Current benefits run about 50 cents, versus 96 cents from Blue Cross. Nine states sanction ads, notably National Liberty for deceptive campaigning linked to Art Linkletter. Florida fined a subsidiary $20,000 and suspended its license six months. National Liberty defends compliance and reports strong first-half growth.
