Fiscal Balance Wheel Urged for Full Employment
The CIO Department of Education and Research urges a balance wheel of government spending and tax programs to sustain full employment and growth. It forecasts 1954 spending near 385 billion dollars versus 375 billion in 1953, with a potential 30 billion shortfall and 4.5 million fewer jobs, unless tax cuts and spending rise by 10 to 12 billion are enacted promptly.

They would gain about 2.75 of the 3 billion annual saving while unemployment rises.
