...than $15,000 a year, on the theory that they need help most and will spend every cent that Uncle Sam lets go of, rather than put their tax savings in the bank. Carter also proposes a modest innovation: $400 million this year to companies that hire hard-to-employ workers (details to come in March). The reasoning is that an expanding economy does not automatically reduce unemployment among the groups most plagued by joblessness; employers who need more help turn first to the most experienced workers, and these generally turn out to be adult white males, whose unemployment rate...
...arena of free enterprise. If Republicans are serious, I'm sure I will go to them." Additionally, differences between Democrats and Republicans are blurring somewhat as both parties endorse policies that do not call for massive spending, such as tax reductions for businesses that hire the hard-to-employ.

Among ordinary blacks, says Maryland Democrat Parren Mitchell, chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, disappointment with Jimmy Carter is "not enough to even make a dent."

After all, if the CIA could bribe the Nieman Foundation--as it did during the '50s, when it persuaded the then curator to accept a Japanese journalist then in the employ of the intelligence agency--it has probably been able to bribe just about anyone in the media...
...boss, Eula Bingham, 48, a former science professor at the University of Cincinnati. Apparently she has heeded President Carter's executive order of last November calling for "simple and clear regulations" and less interference with individuals and organizations. She pared by half the number of OSHA forms that employers must fill out, and virtually eliminated them for small businessmen who employ ten or fewer people. In December, she announced that OSHA is abolishing 1,100 of its more than 10,000 regulations; her hit list will require more than 250 pages of explanation in the Federal Register.
