This is not good enough for the man who is unemployed in the seventies.  We must do better for workers in peacetime and we will do better.

To achieve this, I will submit an expansionary budget this year—­one that will help stimulate the economy and thereby open up new job opportunities for millions of Americans.

It will be a full employment budget, a budget designed to be in balance if the economy were operating at its peak potential.  By spending as if we were at full employment, we will help to bring about full employment.

I ask the Congress to accept these expansionary policies—­to accept the concept of a full employment budget.  At the same time, I ask the Congress to cooperate in resisting expenditures that go beyond the limits of the full employment budget.  For as we wage a campaign to bring about a widely shared prosperity, we must not reignite the fires of inflation and so undermine that prosperity.

With the stimulus and the discipline of a full employment budget, with the commitment of the independent Federal Reserve System to provide fully for the monetary needs of a growing economy, and with a much greater effort on the part of labor and management to make their wage and price decisions in the light of the national interest and their own self-interest—­then for the worker, the farmer, the consumer, for Americans everywhere we shall gain the goal of a new prosperity:  more jobs, more income, more profits, without inflation and without war.

This is a great goal, and one that we can achieve together.

The third great goal is to continue the effort so dramatically begun last year:  to restore and enhance our natural environment.

Building on the foundation laid in the 37-point program that I submitted to Congress last year, I will propose a strong new set of initiatives to clean up our air and water, to combat noise, and to preserve and restore our surroundings.

I will propose programs to make better use of our land, to encourage a balanced national growth—­growth that will revitalize our rural heartland and enhance the quality of life in America.

And not only to meet today’s needs but to anticipate those of tomorrow, I will put forward the most extensive program ever proposed by a President of the United States to expand the Nation’s parks, recreation areas, open spaces, in a way that truly brings parks to the people where the people are.  For only if we leave a legacy of parks will the next generation have parks to enjoy.

As a fourth great goal, I will offer a far-reaching set of proposals for improving America’s health care and making it available more fairly to more people.

I will propose: 

—­A program to insure that no American family will be prevented from obtaining basic medical care by inability to pay.

—­I will propose a major increase in and redirection of aid to medical schools, to greatly increase the number of doctors and other health personnel.
