Jimmy Carter
The Public Record
We must come close to matching Federal outlays with tax receipts if we are to avoid excessive and inflationary Federal borrowing.
I do hereby proclaim the month of February 1981, as American Heart Month.
The central idea of the policy I am announcing today is full disclosure of information to our trading partners.
However, unacceptably high inflation remains our most difficult economic problem.
This budget provides for meeting these needs, while continuing a 4-year policy of prudence and restraint.
I am not recommending such actions, because persistent inflationary pressures dictate a restrained fiscal policy.
This voluntary effort will be highly complementary to the Federal Government's provision of $50 million in aid which Congressman Mario Biaggi sponsored in the Congress.
