Overall, State of the Union Addresses by Coolidge is an important historical document that offers readers a glimpse into the presidency of one of America's most respected leaders. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in American history, politics, or government.We still have an enormous debt of over $20,000,000,000, on which the interest and sinking-fund requirements are $1,320,000,000. Our appropriations for the Pension Office and the Veterans' Bureau are $600,000,000. The War and Navy Departments call for $642,000,000. Other requirements, exclusive of the Post Office ' which is virtually self-sustaining, brought the appropriations for the current year up to almost C3,100,060,000. This shows an expenditure of close to $30 for every inhabitant of our country. For the average family of five it means a tax, directly or indirectly paid, of about $150 for national purposes alone. The local tax adds much more. These enormous expenditures ought not to be increased, but through every possible effort they ought to be reduced.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
