Government can run on lower financial budget By Jim Hansen U.S. Congressman My office is being flooded with calls from people who are scared to death that President Reagan and Congress will eliminate their government programs pro-grams or freeze their government salary. Almost all the callers agree the U.S. needs to reduce government spending and the dangerously large federal budget deficits, but they invariably argue that someone else should bear the brunt of the cuts. Unfortunately, they mouth the famous motto of the special interest groups which claim they are concerned about the budget deficit: "Don't cut you. Don't cut me. Cut that man behind the tree!" When 1 have a chance to talk to these callers, I ask them where they work and how much the budget for their government office is. I then ask them if their office could run efficiently and effectively on less money. Not one person per-son has said they couldn't perform just as effectively on less. If fact, many government workers tell me their offices could sustain a 10-20 percent cut and maintain their efficiency. ef-ficiency. If every government department depart-ment could cut its budget by 10 percent, per-cent, the savings would be enormous. Take for example, the Air Traffic Controllers Con-trollers controversy. President Reagan significantly cut the Controllers Con-trollers budget; but the quality of air safety has remained high. Each year, near the end of the fiscal year, many federal offices discover, to their dismay, they haven't spent their allotted budgets. So, they hurriedly spend the remainder. They splurge because they need to prove to Congress Con-gress that their budgets are justified and that they should possibly get an increase in-crease for the next fiscal year. Sadly, this year-end spending spree is a common com-mon practice. Something is wrong. Federal agencies agen-cies are not motivated to conserve, but to use up their budgets. Congress has the strong incentive to spend more to please special interests. And finally, most people support budget cuts, just so long as the cuts come in somebody else's program. The solution to the problem lies with the American people. We must all realize that even the government program pro-gram which benefits us should be cut. Therefore, I support a total freeze on all government spending, including defense, social security and my salary. A budget freeze would reduce the deficit by about $35 billion. In addition, ad-dition, I support major cuts and the total elimination of many government programs. President Reagan has best described describ-ed the extreme need for all of us to sacrifice to reduce the federal deficit: "Can anyone here say that if we can't do it, someone down the road can do it? And if no one does it, what happens , to the country? All of us here know the J.etQllftTO "tWt(ace an eventual collapse col-lapse ,jjtrijw it's a tremendous challenge, but ask yourselves: If not us, who? If not now, when?"
