A president like Reagan one without a head for detail from page one federal government's take in taxes of the gross national federal product was 19.6 percent. Five years later, the government's take is not much less: 19.3 percent. free-mark- Why? Didn't Reagan cut personal and corporate income taxes?

Tax bracket creepwhich pushes has also helped keep the government's total tax take fairly constant, he said. Had Reagan not cut income tax rates, Wildavsky said the federal government's take'of the GNP, would be a approximately 23 percent. The result would have been smaller deficit, but a higher amount of government spending, he said. And the Democrats couldn't have gotten away with higher spending for their social causes, Wildavsky said, without an increase in the government's take in taxes. Thus, the Democrats have been without the money to advance their causes. And that hasn't made them look too S S good, he said. "It's not the lack of intellect but the lack of food for thought or money that makes the Democrats look dumb," Wildavsky said. Another area where the president has been successful is in preventing the Republican Party from splitting wide open, he told the audience. The party comprises two main wings.

When it comes to Reagan's conservative social agenda, his .blueprint has been the philosophy of Adam Smith, Wildavsky said, referring to the 18th Century economist who preached the virtues of a free marketplace.

He pointed to terrorism as one example of where Reagan's foreign policy has run into problems. "He spouts overblown rhetoric that doesn't fit the limits of his position."
