Deficit: ‘Why No Outrage?’
Of course there is outrage at Reagan’s budget. Every clear-thinking citizen who heard of the proposed $92.5-billion deficit is outraged and disgusted. Evidently, after eight years of the state of California budget preparation and eight years of the same exercise in the White House, Reagan has learned nothing. He spends the nation’s money the same way Nancy replenishes her wardrobe . . . borrowing, keeping, and never paying the debt. Reagan’s last budget only makes George Bush all the more welcome.
