President Roosevelt Presents 83 Billion War Budget Amid Uncertain Timeline
President Roosevelt asked Congress for an 83 billion dollar budget for the coming fiscal year, emphasizing war costs and maintenance. He avoided predicting when fighting might end in Europe or elsewhere, citing variable battlefront developments and the need to fund armed forces globally. The plan shifts from building up to maintenance, with 73 billion for war and the rest for ordinary government expenses, while leaving room to reallocate leftover funds if the war outcome improves.
