...stopgap solution was to parcel out $5 billion of an estimated $5.8 billion surplus in state revenues to more than 6,000 local government units. The schools will get the biggest chunk of the fund, $2.2 billion. That will mean only a 10.5% overall cut in their operating cash from current levels. The relief money will be applied on a sliding scale so districts that have long had less money for schools will get the most. This will help meet a California Supreme Court decision that support of schools should be equalized...

Then, perhaps, the ecology of North China would not have changed. Or, perhaps, food might have been packed in from food-surplus areas. But in addition to the war had been the drought.

Another $10.5 billion is being spent for 550,000 sorely needed new housing units. As a consequence, consumer spending is reviving, the once mountainous backlog of inventories is fast...
...strong, agree the government, business and even labor. The developing feeling in Japan that the economy must be restructured to grow more slowly is based on other factors besides the fear that a huge trade surplus would ultimately raise high the walls of protectionism abroad. The increasing value of the yen automatically increases the prices of Japanese goods overseas, inevitably hurting an economy based so heavily on trade. In addition, Japan's shipbuilding yards and textile mills are meeting tough competition from spanking new facilities in lowpaying, less developed nations such as Brazil and South Korea.
