None of the Board members expect the Administration's grim scenario to be played out, however, because they are certain that Congress will appreciably expand the President's budget. Pechman, for one, believes the projected deficit for fiscal 1976 will have climbed by $13 billion or more when Congress is through with the budget. For example, Ford wants to reduce Government spending this year by $17 billion through, among other things, limiting the mandatory increases in federal pay and Social Security and boosting the price of food stamps for the poor.
