Roosevelt submits balanced budget with relief deficit forecast
President Roosevelt sent Congress a 1937 budget predicting a balanced regular-expenditure plan but a work relief shortfall estimated between 1 and 3 billion dollars. He kept the relief amount unspecified, promising it will be far below last year’s 4.88 billion. The message projects record 1937 revenue near 5.654 billion and a 5 million surplus after regular costs, with the national debt set to rise to about 31 billion by 1937 from 15 billion in 1930.
