When Budgets Don't Balance If a government fails to balance | its budget year after year, a deficit ' may -accumulate which cannot be paid ‘through takation since, in a period of stress, it may be impos- sible to collect sufficient taxes. | To pey expenses fuch a govern- ment may be forced into issuing flat money which is eurreney based on nothing more than the govern- ment’s promise to pay at some fu- ture date. If the government uses such cur- rency to pay its obligations it will dilute the nation’s money supply with the result each unit of the eurrency will have less purchasing power. Germany’s Example Cited In Germany, for example, after the war this expansion proceeded to such an extent that the currency became literally worth less than the paper it was printed on. The new curency provided in lhel present situation is not being used by the government to pay expans- €s, as was the case in Germany. It |finds its way into circulation through the banks and will get jinto circulation only so far as bank | depositors withdraw their money. The national debt of the United States at the end of the fiscal year | ended June 80, 1932, was about| $19,500,000,000, not as high as in 1919, right after the war, when it was $25,500,000,000. But in terms of its burden on the people the debt today may be larg- er than the 1918 debt Yecause this is a time of depression and 1919 was a fime of prosperity. It was, in other words, easier o collect taxes ‘and to borrow morey be- cause the nation Wad more money. borne today. issues to be sold on patriotic ground much as liberty bonds were sold during the war to provide addition- al “government funds for public works.
