...politician--though scatterbrained, he thinks about issues in new terms and with new solutions. It may not make a lot of practical sense when discussing economic problems to say "let's explore outer space." But it is, at least, an idea, and perhaps more palatable than either giving people CETA jobs or awarding them the chance to make minimum and less at McDonalds. Yes, what John Anderson said made sense, more sense than the solutions of either of the two major candidates. But the answers Anderson provided were only the easy, suburban and utterly conventional ones. Tax gasoline...
...supported Reagan probably don't care that he offered little but a far-away trickle-down effect to workers without powerful unions behind them; that Reagan opposed any advance of the American trade union movement; or that the proposed rearmament of America would be at the expense of the CETA and Social Security payments.

The heart of the difference over the remaining 25% is a matter of priorities. Jones originally recommended spending $4.4 billion less for defense next fiscal year than Reagan would, largely by canceling a 5.3% military pay increase due July 1; conservative Democrats would not go along, so he dropped the idea. The committee did agree...
