The President's proposed budget would mean Americans will pay more for everything. Under the program contemplated by the White House the cost of living would increase two percent. The budget from President Johnson threatens to make the lurking shadow of inflation a monster of reality. The Administration's financial document tries to go in both directions at the same time. It calls for even more federal spending in dubious areas and ignores any sensible corner-outting on non-essential domestic programs. Republicans support all necessary funds for national security. At the same time, Republicans insist on setting priorities at home without sacrificing the proven needs of the people...all the people. BERALD R. FORD LIBRARY
