Actually, it will take a series of miracles to keep the deficits out of the twelve-digit range, which the budget document concedes "would impose extreme pressures on financial markets-[and] undermine the outlook for continued monetary restraint, reduced inflation and economic growth." To begin with, the estimate that the fiscal 1982 figure will stay a hair below $100 billion depends on the highly dubious assumption that Congress will enact further cuts in such programs as food stamps, welfare, Medicare and Medicaid to take effect in the remaining eight months of the year. The $91.5 billion projection for fiscal...
...while, Stockman was busily preparing the 1983 budget, which is as much his handiwork as the President's. He personally wrote Reagan's budget message, as well as 75 pages of the 610-page document; he even redrew charts and footnotes to make the presentation clearer. Said an amazed career official at OMB: "We've been lucky in the past if our Director even read all of the budget before it went to the printer. In this case, Stockman wrote it."

Suppose that, in 1965, someone at the British embassy in Jakarta passed a classified document to Indonesian Communists, with ghastly results: at a secret outpost in neighboring Malaysia, a British officer and his men were ambushed, tortured and slaughtered by marauding guerrillas. Imagine further that a top-level investigation winnowed the field of possible traitors down to two men. One, William Ludley, had resigned shortly after the atrocity, when he inherited his family fortune, and never returned to England. In the absence of hard evidence, officials interpreted Ludley's self-exile as incriminating and deduced the innocence of Leslie...
