Inflation is a deeply en-
trenched and formidable
enemy and we sometimes
forget just how much effort
and sacrifice is needed to slow
the momentum of this
economic runaway that is
dragging our eptire country
along in its pefth Let's look
back and gain some degree of
historic perspective of the
growth of federal spending:

WASHINGTON. D C —At the
height of conflict during the
Vietnam War, I recall a car-
toon depicting two
Washington politicians, with
the Capitol Dome in the
background, airing their
frustration in trying to win a
"no-win" war
"Why don’t we just declare a
victory," one cried out, "wave
a few flags and bring all our
troops home!" If you wiB look
back xto those days, that's
pretty much what happened in
the ensuing period
We are now involved in a
domestic war—the continuing
battle against inflation—that
stirs similar frustrations
among those of us elected by
the people to win this costly
war that is causing increasing
hardship to every person in
this country.
I duly wish we could declare
a victory, wave a few flags and
the war against inflation
would be won. But, as with the
Vietnam War, it isn't quite
that easy Nor can real victory
be claimed quickly. As with
that earlier conflict, a real
Commitment on the part of
every American is needed if
real gains are to be achieved
There h^s been criticism of
the economic program pasj^tf
by Congress in August, that
measurable progress isn’t ap-
parent. "The program isn’t
working," proclaims the press
and other critics, who don’t
. have an alternative to offer
(and more importantly, of-
fared no rehJ alternative
( when the progriam was being
\ formulated). /
J—To those erpes. I ha ve to say:
/ Giveth? program a chance to
work. None of us had ahy real
. expectations that results
would, be noticed overnight.
What we were most concerned
about was that the direction
was sound. We have slowed
die growth of federal govern-
ment and taken steps that
should, giveirlhe opportunity,
provide incentive to stimulate
our productivity and,
therefore, stimulate economic
growth

During the years of the
Great Depression, say from
1929 to 1933, federal spend-
ing amounted to 3-4 percent
of the Gross National Product
(GNP) It’s awesome to realize
that in 1929 federal spending
totaled only $3.1 billion. At
the- height of pre-war New
Deal spending, 1936-40, the
federal budget was still only
around 10 percent of the GNP
The federal budget has
skyrocketed from $10 billion
in 1940 to $660 5 billion this
year—23.1 percent of the
,1981 GNP

D Even more frightening, pro-
* jections for 1982 sljpw spend-
ing to increase still another
$74 billion, IN SPITE OF THE
SPENDING CUTS WE HAVE
MADE THUS FAR! The budget’s
share of the GNP is also ex-
pected to increase to 23 4 per
cent And if those figures don’t
frighten you, they should. And
if you think they don't directly
affect you, you’re wrong If in-
flation affects you, the
runaway federal budget af
fects you, because it is at the
root of inflation.
