Kennedy asks largest budget in history and tax cut plan
President Kennedy sent Congress a record budget with two possible outlay paths totaling about 98.8 to 122.5 billion dollars and deficits near 10 to 12 billion. He pushed a $10 billion tax cut and warned deficits could reverse with growth and surging hope for surpluses later. Republicans blasted the plan while Democrats praised defense and space funding, as Kennedy trimmed nonsecurity programs to offset revenue loss. He asked 51 billion for defense and 6.1 billion for space, aiming to land men on the moon by 1970.
