Yet. that is exactly what our Federal Government is doing in this legislation. Uncle Sam. having operated in the red for the past 20 years and now having accumulated an unheard of debt will. if this bill is passed. go out and try to borrow more money from the famous taxpayer bank to give to his neighbor European countries. I have no grudge against any European or Asiatic countries. nor any country in the world as far as that is concerned including Russia and her satellites. If our Federal Government could afford it I would be the first to support this program in its entirety. but how can any Member of Congress who says that he is interested in the economical operation of our Federal Government. balancing the budget and putting a stop to further deficit financing vote for this bill or any part of it? The international dogooders originally made some haphazard statements about stopping the spread of communism in Europe and said that the original ERP was the only answer to the threat of communism in Europe.
