As a result of this unequal distribution of military spending, lit federal government has been underwriting the recent flowofjobsanl businesses from the North to the South and Southwest, said M§|| humanities professor James R. Anderson. Detroit suffered a net tax loss of $1.5 billion in military spendings fiscal 1977, the last year for which full data were available, he sail Monday in releasing results of his study. Of tbe nation’s 40 largest cities, only New York and Chicago st|. fered a bigger military deficit than Detroit in that year. In Michigan, the federal government collected $4.7 billion ini and spent $1.7 billion on military projects, leaving a deficit ofneat| $3 billion. Anderson said the big winners from the Pentagon budget weit Texas, Florida, California and the Washington, D.C. area. All te ceived substantially more than they paid out in taxes to support tie, Pentagon. “That warm, golden glow of the Sunbelt is being financed by n sources generated in the Northeast and Midwest, to our econonfc peril, Anderson said. “The federal government is acting as a conduit for shiftine re sources from one area to another.’’ He said he felt the inequality was inherent in the Pentagon budget; lie, he said, fc Anderson said slashing military spending across the hoard was tit iletely fair, an only way to lessen the economic burden on Michigan apd,other stats part in decidin with similar deficits.
