Even if you overlook the fact that the proposal is just so much political baggage, however, the content of the legislation is grounds enough for dismissal. It is ironic that the Washington outsider whose 1976 campaign platform promised to pare down the overgrown federal blob has thrown his support behind a proposal that will further crowd the Washington community and further extend a tradition of Washington mismanagement.

As the growth of federal spending drops, the need for Government borrowing will decline, freeing up more capital for private investment...

Less than a month remains before Jimmy Carter presents to Congress his spending program for fiscal 1980, and Cutter and his OMB colleagues are locked in a furious struggle with almost the entire federal bureaucracy. The goal is to pare spending requests and put together a budget that will not exceed the $30 billion deficit that Carter has pledged. Congress is in a cutting mood, but may change its mind when specific sacrosanct programs come...
