Congressional Correspondence on Federal Budget and Spending Priorities, 1975-01-25

The text is a letter from James R. Jones, a member of Congress, thanking Mr. Wood for a letter and newspaper article about federal spending. Jones emphasizes the need to balance the budget by establishing spending priorities and reducing non-essential spending. He agrees with Wood's point about federal assistance being given only to those in need. The text also includes a letter from a person urging the government to stop spending on welfare and focus on vital domestic needs. Additionally, there is information about an economist warning that the U.S. cannot spend its way out of a recession and should instead focus on reducing deficits. The economist also discusses the economic theories of Lord Maynard Keynes and the need for responsible financial management.
