While many of the plans and programs discussed in the preceding section require nothing more than a change of mind-admittedly, not always an easy thing-others require substantial sums of money. The total might amount to a possible $30 billion, obviously an unrealistic sum in the next two or three years. Even if priorities are worked out, the question remains: where is the money to come from? Can the U.S. afford it? In managing the nation's economy, President Nixon's freedom of maneuver will be fairly circumscribed at first; he inherits from Johnson a budget that...

Unaccustomed Discounts. American steelmakers, benefiting from the strength of the economy in general and of auto sales in particular, will show total profits for 1968 of about $900 million, up from $843 million the year before. Nonetheless, profits as a percentage of sales dropped off. Imports squeezed profits by putting downward pressure on steel prices. To hold on to its markets, for example, even U.S. Steel Corp. resorted to some unaccustomed price discounting.
