In the U.S. in particular, things were in parlous shape. The Government, Krock complained, was endorsing "an evangelistic concept of world stewardship"; it had "discarded the most fundamental teaching of the foremost American military analysts by assuming the burden of a ground war between Asians in Asia." At home, the Constitution was being eroded by "the swollen powers of the President" and the "judge-made legislation" of the Supreme Court. The Great Society...

Today, the President does not consider the budget just a report on spending or an accounting of his stewardship, as it once was, but a powerful tool for controlling the whole Government and a potent instrument for manipulating the economy. Lyndon Johnson, who delights in making use of every available lever of power, has used the budget to further his own ends more than any of his predecessors. This...
