Abstract

A Frank talk on the budget
Corn, David | March 24, 1997 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the U.S. military budget. If the budget is to be balanced by 2002, as President Bill Clinton has vowed, and there is no change in the administration's projected military budgets, then domestic spending-housing, health care, environmental enforcement, education, transportation-faces a crunch of tremendous proportions. Under the Clinton plan, domestic spending will be cut at twice the rate of military spending in the years to come. And even while shrinking slightly, the military budget will squeeze out other government programs. The money for school repairs, job training and health insurance for kids simply will not be there.
