Spending trends show nondefense rise outpaces defense
The Tax Foundation argues that missile and defense outlays do not drive big federal budgets. From 1954 to 1960 nondefense spending climbs to $29.1 billion in 1960, the highest since 1954 except 1959, while defense spending dips to about $48 billion. Civil benefits push total budget up by $9.3 billion in six years.
