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
