...spent on "regular" running expenses $1,142,000,000. If times were normal, that would seem to leave a $72,000,000 surplus.

With this money the government has often spent five dollars to give one dollar of relief. Evidently the four dollar discrepancy ensures a vote for the new deal. Such haphazard spending will not bring about a utopia where everyone is satisfied; it will land...
