Bridges Says National Debt Will Rise Under Truman Budget
Senator Bridges declares the Truman budget will cause the national debt to grow by about 15.1 billion dollars over the next 18 months. He argues the administration plans to shrink the gross debt by spending cash balances, likening it to overdrawing a checking account. Bridges cites a Treasury balance shrinking from 26 billion to 3.2 billion by mid-1947 and urges a balanced budget.
