...addition to the national debt increases the Government's future annual interest costs, even if the interest rates remain unchanged. A $200 billion increase in the national debt raises the Government's annual interest cost by some $20 billion a year. That makes the one-year increase in the Government's annual interest bill more than the entire cost of the food-stamp program. The interest that the Government pays on the national debt has soared from less than $130 per person in 1960 to more than $500 per person this year, and is heading to an annual total...

After two hours they adjourned, having sketched out just the bare-bones outline of a plan. The centerpiece of their proposal, Dole announced, would probably be a one-year across-the-board budget freeze at fiscal-1985 levels on almost all Government spending, including defense funding and entitlement programs like Social Security.

Almost as soon as the strike began on Monday, the beleaguered board agreed to one union demand, promising to restore a 25% cut in medical insurance enacted just three months ago. The remaining issue is more contentious. Chicago teachers, now the fourth best paid in the U.S., have asked for a 10% increase, which would bring the average teacher's salary to nearly $29,000. The board is contemplating a one-year, onetime 10% cash bonus instead...
