...inner city businesses on principle; we do, however, demand that any such incentive be tied to a business' success in providing jobs to the unemployed without firing others. The Kemp-Garcia plan, like so many of the president's initiatives, is merely a sop to what budget director Stockman recently called the "hogs" of American business. Full employment--not the welfare of General Motors--must be our nation's top economic priority.

Some of Reagan's top aides, such as Stockman and Chief of Staff James Baker, have been arguing that the deficit must be tamed by raising new revenues, perhaps through a windfall-profits levy on deregulated natural gas, plus excise-tax increases and the closing of loopholes. They hoped that by walking the President through the tough budget-review process, he would become convinced of the need for new taxes...
