“Here we are in the best
times ever, when, by theory,
government spending should
slack off. But it is at a peace
time high. The only defense
left to government against
slack times in that situation is
some modern form of pouting
press money that would destroy
all values .and, as in Germany
and China, endanger govern
ment itself. Then, indeed, hair
would curl and turn white be
fore it curled.”

“The ‘giveaway’ programs are
bringing home <to the average
person the fact that the earner
in the higher income brackets
can reach the point where he is
working almost entirely for his
Uncle Sam.
“Clearly, the taxpayers low
er down on the totem pole have
a great stake in increasing pro
ductivity. Only in this way can
they hope to gain on the tax
collector.”
