THE M ANION FORUM By MARILYN MANION WHITHER THE SPENDING SPREE? LBJ needs more money, in order that his Administration can continue to live according to the style to which it has be come accustomed. He needs un told billions of extra dollars to really keep up with his spend ing plans—but he has settled on a mere 10 per cent surtax. That will hold him over for a while, and the rest of the mon ey will just have to be borrow ed or, in plainer terms, added to the deficit. Taxpayers who are trying to balance their personal budgets in the wake of higher prices and inflation aren’t all that excited about the President’s proposal. They are begining to ask, in fact, a very uncomfort able question: Where does all the money go? On the lighter side, here are a few expenditures uncovered by Congressman Don Brotzman of Colorado: “More peculiar Federal pro jects have been brought to my attention since I objected to several strange scholarly re search giants, including $15,- 000 to the University of Cali fornia at Los Angeles for prep aration of a dictionary of folk lore, magic, and witchcraft. Now I find that you, the tax payer, are also spending $5000 for analysis of violin varnish used prior to 1737, $20,000 to study German cockroaches and $11,782 for a social history of French medicine from 1789 to 1815.” Of course, millions of your dollars are put to what the Administration considers more serious purpose. Here, as com piled by Congressman Richard Poff. of Virginia, is a partial list of appropriations made by Congress this season for urban areas alone: Urban renewal: $750 million; urban planning grants: $40 million; public housing: $275 million: open space land grants $75 million: manpower train ing and development: $394 mil lion; maternal and child wel fare: 8235 million. The theme of these spending programs is to help the poor. But the result is not always in keeping with the theme, un less you consider making perm anent dependency a "help." "Let’s face it; welfare is a way of life." announced a spokes- Rights Movement, an organ’ zation composed of welfare re cipients. “Sure, we need a un ion,” said another member of the group. “Everybody else has one. W r hy shouldn’t we?” John A. McCone, former chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission and former Direc tor of the Central Intelligence Agency, testified recently be fore the Senate Judiciary Com mittee on the subject of wel fare and racial strife. He pointed out that, if a man can get $225 a month free, from welfare, it is difficult to con vince him to enter a job train ing program for $175 monthly. In other words, under present programs, it pays Not to work. less” children, who are all too often doomed to be raised in an environment where welfare, not work, is the only way to live. President Johnson’s “Great Society” may thus evolve into a “Dependent Society.” And the day may come when the dependents outnumber the tax payers. Before that day, the taxpayers had best wield the power of their votes and their pens. Regarding the latter weapon, the House Ways and Means Committee is concluding hearings on LBJ’s tax increase proposal as of this writing. The Committee Chairman is Con gressman Wilbur D. Mills, and, lest you forget, his address is Washington, D. C. man tor iho National Woltarc it also pays to produce “father- K<*C F cor ? $jbI Enjoy the Good Things Of Life Through Planned Savings...
