U S government subsidies to private business and farmers from 1934 through 1948 total more than 14.5 billion dollars. Including food and cotton stamp plans would add about 643 million, bringing the grand total to over 15 billion. The piece notes direct and indirect subsidies, 1947–49 education aid, Brannan farm plan, and forthcoming health plans, with past subsidy programs tied to wartime inflation control and New Deal relief efforts. It cites Budget Bureau tabulations, RFC subsidies, and Maritime Commission funding, and projects current-year subsidies around 500 million with only a dozen direct payments remaining.
