Budget Shifts as Defense Programs Expand Expenditures
The 1941 budget envisions a major shift from peacetime to preparedness with defense outlays rising from 1.575 billion to about 3.6 billion dollars and total borrowing power boosted by four billion. WPA relief costs ease to 1.4 billion while non-defense costs shrink slightly. New tax levies promise higher revenue: old taxes up 385 million, new levies adding 715 million, totaling 994.2 million annually for four years, though first year receipts dip due to timing. Excise taxes rise, estate and gift taxes climb, income taxes up, corporation taxes up, and personal exemptions fall from 2500 to 2000 dollars.
