THE BARN I'M BMXiET
P. T. BARM M. the ^rx'ut.'s’
showman of his day, once said.
‘There’s a sucker Intm every
minute." Judging from the gim
micks, evasions, and mani[)ula-
tions in the I-'jscal Year 1%8
budget, tin' present-day politi
cal shournf'n in the Adminis
tration subscribe to Barnum’s
maxim They otiviously believe
the American [xipulaPon con
sists largely of such meker
who will accept on face \a!u<
any jiretty package as long, a-
it is attractively urapjied.

d(^er\e :« MTiipulousIv hon«*st
federal budget. The one sub
mitted to tl»e < ongress and the
public this year b> the Presi
dent widens the “credibility
gap” over the state of the na
tion’s hank book. This budget
is predicated on income which
will not he realiz»*d, savings
which will not Ik* made, ex
penditure limits which will not
Ik* adhensl to, and taxes which
may well not In- levied. In vir-
tuall> every ease, an> doubt as
to the availability of funds for
“<ireat Society” programs ha*
been r**sol\ed in favor of a
“spend it now and uorrx aintut
paying for d later” philosophy.

THE SYSTEM works tins
way: government lending agen
eies, such
iv* the Small BusincK*
Administration and the Export
Import Bank, pool their out
standing loans, and certificate*
baaed on tht*se aaai-ts are sold
on tiie op«‘n market the same
as ordinary government bon da
Thme eertirteat«*a do n<*t carry
the “full faith and credit” of
the United States, however, and
therefore are not counted aa
part of the formal, public
debt. While the participation
certificates* supposedly substi
tute private credit for public
credit, in the final analysis the
government is still borrowing
the money it is spending. The
President proposes to offer
$5.7.’) billion of participation
certificates to the public during
Fiscal Year 1968.
IN MID-JANUARY the fic
tion of private credit was fur
ther complicated when the gov
ernment began selling partici-
pation certificates to its own
accounts, such as the Social
Security Trust Funds. The ef
fect on government bookkeep
ing is a reduction of both fed-
eral spending and the National
Dept. The government is thus
assuming the role of borrow’er,
intermediary and lender.
THE SPIRALLING federal
deficit facing the people was
further masked when the Pres
ident presented his figures
based on the so-called “national
income budget” instead of the
traditional administrative bud
get The former has special ap
peal in that it treats taxes as
income when they accrue rather
than when they are paid. Since
the President is proposing both
higher income, corjxmation and
Social Security taxes, the “na
tional income budget” enables
him to treat those proposed
taxes a- money in the treasury
This maneuver allows him to
pi edict a deficit of only $2.1
billion dollars well below the
■S<s 1 billion dollars which the
nr tomary administrative bud-
ot would yield for 1968.
