Where We Are on the Budget
· The Budget Committee is still scheduled to begin market of a budget resolution next week. Right now meetings are being held with staff from each committee to update our information as to how much spending they believe they can cut over the next three years (initial results in January indicated that we could get at least 60% of domestic cuts, with Armed Services, Banking, Labor, and Government Affairs still out).
. On advice of the Budget Committee it also seems that we have to raise our goal from $50 billion in savings in FY 1986 to $64 billion. The reasons seem to be slower growth assumptions (translating into lower revenues) than the administration and higher interest rate projections.
. That makes our job even more difficult, but it would be wrong to say we are 'off track'. We haven't even had any votes on a budget yet, or on any part of a budget. We have had some unfortunate votes on farm credit legislation, but it remains to be seen whether the President will allow us to spend that money by signing the bill into law.
. The keys to unlocking the budget puzzle are still the same. We need to move across-the-board, including real restraint on the defense budget and some action on entitlements, including social security. The danger is that everyone already seems to be scaling back their expectations. Those who want defense cut ought to keep in mind that reducing the pressure on the domestic budget inevitably will reduce the pressure on the Pentagon as well. And those who want to freeze or reform domestic programs better remember that protecting defense from any budget cuts devastates our ability to win concessions from the advocates of those domestic programs.
. The defense picture is mixed. This week the Republicans on the Armed Services Committee indicated in a letter that they are willing to consider cuts from the President's request, but not below a 4% real increase each year. That is probably not enough to convince our other committee chairman to bring their members along on the kind of cuts we need, but it is a helpful sign of movement and something we can talk about.
. We seem to have lost sight of our original goal. That is to cut spending enough to get the deficit to 2% of GNP by 1988. We have to see how much we have available to spend, then divvy it up among all the programs we want to keep. Instead we are already starting to look at problems, one by one, and throw money at them -- then we will add up the total and call it the budget, no matter what it does to the economy and the country. If that's the best we can do, we might as well do everyone a favor and go home right now.
