None of them is an acceptable choice. Carter has reneged on almost every important campaign promise he made the last time around, which should come as no surprise since he made contradictory promises, depending on his audience. Remember slashing the fat out of the defense budget? Remember overhauling a tax system that was a disgrace to the human race? Remember full employment? Remember Paul Warnke, ditched after negotiating SALT II to pacify the Neanderthals, and Andy Young, shot down by the Israeli lobby after talking to people of the Palestinian persuasion?

He was against Proposition 13 until it passed, whereupon he rode the fiscal austerity wave to such strong conservative applause that he got carried away and started calling for a constitutional convention to balance the budget.

Besides, alcohol is expensive; the masters could use their budget to reach many students more often if they were not burdened with...
...Massachusetts the Doyle Bill would cut off state funds in the same manner as the Hyde Amendment. Formerly an adjunct to the budget it was passed and signed as a bill this year. Appealed by MORAL (the Massachusetts Organization for the Repeal of Abortion Laws), the bill is under injunction and pending review by the Federal District Court on the basis of a Supreme Court decision that all medically necessary services must be available to the poor. As of last May, hospitals are no longer required to perform abortions upon demand except in case of probable death to the mother...
