Finance Chairman Urges Budget Cut
Senator Walter F. George of Georgia urged Congress to cut President Truman’s budget by at least 2.5 billion to 3 billion dollars while preserving essential services and foreign commitments. He cited a 42.4 billion dollar proposed budget with a 5.9 billion dollar deficit and argued a larger cut could still balance the books if fiscally prudent. He noted the deficit fight is part of a broader election-year clash over economic policy and awaited Truman’s tax plan. Other senators weighed in on spending scrutiny, warning against permanent deficit spending and urging careful evaluation of new programs.
