Roosevelt budget estimates 83 billion with war contingent
President Roosevelt sent Congress an 83 billion dollar budget for 1946, likely to swing 10 billion up or down depending on war developments. He warned against predicting end dates for fighting while noting the 1946 figure factors in ongoing military costs and large veterans’ and debt interests. The year’s spending would be the lowest in three years if war costs ease as projected.
