President Johnson told Congress the 11.6 billion dollar hike in the fiscal 1970 budget prioritizes domestic social programs. Four and a half billion goes to Social Security expansion funded by payroll boosts, 3.4 billion to housing education health and job training, and 2.8 billion for a federal pay raise, while national defense rises 500 million.
