...billion for the second three months. Since program stretchouts are slow to take hold, this would have meant either 1) enormous cuts to bring the budget back into line by the end of the second quarter-something military planners refused to accept, or 2) forcing the aircraft industry to borrow huge sums to pay the Government's bills...

While the new funds will not solve all the industry's problems, they will ease much of the strain. Originally, planemakers estimated that they might be forced to borrow between $1.5 billion and $2 billion to keep going without full progress payments on contracts.

Similarly, firms in a sufficiently monopolistic market to have some control over their own prices can pass along increased capital cost to consumers. Firms in the competitive markets, however, find themselves unable to borrow at current rates or to find funds even if they can afford it. The discriminatory influence of the policy can be seen in relative amounts of recent investment: between the last quarter of 1954 and the second quarter of 1956, firms with assets over $100 million have increased their gross investment...
