Government To End Year Better Than Expected
Government experts say the deficit for the current fiscal year will be smaller than Truman’s forecast, possibly under 6.25 billion dollars and maybe around 1.3 billion, as slower military spending and higher taxes narrow the gap. Officials stress the year still ends in the red, though far less than anticipated, with spending staying below the Truman budgeted 70.9 billion and revenue shortfalls around 1 to 1.5 billion.
