Chapter Sixty
"The White House have released their budgetary plan for 1981. It called for a twenty-one percent reduction in the amount of civil service employees by the end of the year. This will coincide with an almost identical cut in the amount of federal spending on welfare insurance-specifically in reference for individuals-on welfare for more than fifteen months-one and a quarter years."
-Tom Brokaw (1981)
"I don't know what the Administration thinks this will get us, because all I can see coming out of this is more people left without assistance, more people without jobs. He still has not finalized his tax rates, and I don't think they'll do much good either."
