Show v f As House Democrats on the losing side AP News Analysis By JAY PERKINS Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — The Reagan ministration’s ad- ride budget-slashin- g through the House has left scars all over a branch of government considered as coequal to the presidency The president proposes and Congress disposes the old saying goes But congressmen from both sides of the aisle admit little disposing was done in last week’s rush to pass President Reagan’s budget cuts Most House members didn’t even see the finished bill until after floor debate started and many admitted they didn’t understand what was in the measure even after they saw it As the president saw it House passage of his package Friday was a victory for the people ' saw it the president was usurping the rights of Congress and passage of his bill amounted to defeat of the concept of branches of government system This was hardly the first time one branch of government had managed to impose its will on another and it won’t be the last All it takes is votes and this time president had 217 his opponents 211 But perhaps never before had so much been done in so short a time and in such a manner The budget cuts passed by the House — the Senate had approved essentially the same package earlier — will have an effect on Americans in every phase of life from school lunches to college tuition to Social Security payments They will affect some 250 programs and sepa-rate-but-eq- ual get out of the Democratic Caucus the session for Democrats vote showed Reagan can Although the win in the House with a coalition of Republicans and conservative Democrats no one is willing to say Democrats have lost control of the House for good “This was one vote” said Rep Charles head of the ConservaStenholm tive Democratic Forum ‘‘It was on economic issues That’s the significance of this We’ve had a distinct turnaround in this country and the majority of this House on both sides of the aisle will respond to it”The vehicle for Reagan’s victory was the House budget process an internal apparatus created by Congress to control its spending tendencies The president and his congressional allies turned that internal safeguard into a weapon against Congress asked whether House Speaker Thomas P O’Neill could unite the party shook his head and replied “I don’t cut federal spending by an estimated $382 billion in fiscal year 1982 alone Some programs will be terminated Others will be consolidated into block grants where competing interests will fight it out for available funds No one not even those who offered the legislation knows what the impact will be Democrats portray it as a high risk gamble for the American people but it also is a high risk gamble for the president and for the Republican Party that so staunchly supported his initiative — particularly those moderate Republicans from the Northeast whose constituents could be hurt by some of the cuts It was a high risk gamble for Democratic leaders who saw a product of their own creation — the budget act — used against them and their prestige diminished by defeat One conservative congressman D-Ma- strategy-settin- g ss know” And it may turn out
