...first, many cautious Congressmen held off pronouncing judgment on the program until they could see its full dimensions. The White House provided them last week in a 165-page blue-bound book titled simply Fiscal Year 1982 Budget Revisions. The document added $13.8 billion in proposed spending cuts to the $34.8 billion that the President identified in his televised speech to Congress on Feb. 18. It also lengthened the list of programs being trimmed from 83 to nearly 300. Moreover, Reagan proposed a cut of $21 billion, or 14%, in the authority of federal agencies to make or guarantee loans...
...rest of the proposed reductions, however, are real enough, and bear the new Administration's distinctively conservative stamp.

These predictions are largely based on an expectation that enactment of the program will break the national inflationary psychology. Snorted House Budget Committee Chairman James Jones, an Oklahoma Democrat: "We are not going to put out a budget based on mirrors and magic...
...heartfelt doubts and objections aroused by Reagan's program, the President's landslide election victory and the speed and vigor with which his aides have put together a comprehensive budget program have transformed the political climate. There will be loud and bruising fights, but they will not be about whether to cut spending, nor even primarily how deeply to cut, but simply where...
