Two non-flnall- ;i IndfjflJM Jaksha balanced budget and spending limThe terms itation trigger conversation among all taxpayers, from blue collar workers tq ivory tower intellectuals. And a worthy subject too the life of our country is at stake! The desire for a balanced budget is inherent in the philosophy of our society. The banker balances the till; the accountant reconciles the accounts; the auditor certifies the assets and liabilities and we the people work to pay the bills currently and balance our checkbooks. Yet there are those leaders in Congress who cry for and welfare and social justice for the peepul awewith an without compunction crucify young taxpayers some and increasing Federal Debt. Why balance? Because it makes common sense! It is a basic operating standard for the taxpayers. Why should the g public sector be exempt? Only an ethical aberration for can justify this economic double standard (Private Official Use Only). It does not make sense to borrow against the future for daily expense; it is morally reprehensible to it is an irresponplace this burden on the young generation and sible act of stupid thoughtless parents. A Heritage Foundation study prepared by analyst Eugene McAllister points out: An implicit purpose of the balanced budget amendment is to reduce the growth in government spending. It is important to realize. . . balance! budget and spending limitation measures would not require a cut in existing services but merely impose a limit on growth of expenditures. alluded to by The concept of managed growth McAllister and the Heritage study requires emphasis. A balanced budget which results in the stability of managed growth may be one of the better political and social decisions of this area. Hopefully the decision for a balanced budget will be accompanied by spending limits. Without some combination of both, a balanced budget can be attained merely by levying taxes to an equal level. Admittedly, the political consequences may discourage this approach. Nevertheless, a spending limit may be an inevitable corollary to balancing in order to contain the spending level at a politically compatible level. The economic double standard now used by Congress FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY. The cannot be: PRIVATE fiscal actions of the private and public sector are inexorably intertwined. The only collateral the Federal Debt offers is a promise to pay from future receipts. That future becomes more distant, and the collateral more ethereal each day. It is indeed a sad fiscal policy which requires more billions in debt annually to pay current expense. Witness the charade played by die House of Representatives in March when the Debt Limit was increased using the threat of noncashable Social Security checks as political leverage! The issuance of such d checks iq the private sector would lead to charges of ' civil crime. l It is evident that governments at all levels have not been listening, or at best have made selective use of their hearing aids. While a major burden of responsibility for deficit policies lies on the Federal Congress and their agents, this burden must be shared by Cities and Counties and Schools and States who casually step up to the bar of free money and add their share to die unbalanced budget. The concept of a balanced budget and reasonable spending limits has the overwhelming support of the taxpayers. Congressmen who delude themselves with the idea that the FOR OFFICIAL pocketbook is, PRIVATE harshness discover the USE ONLY of the real may world. (Note: Heritage Forum guest columnist Edward A..

And we are faced with some tough challenges to our survival both as individuals working in education and as an education profession. Some old questions now have to be asked In the light of these crises times. 1. Am I an educator first, or am I an educational specialist in the field of education? 2. Is the Association just a . classroom- - teachers organization and not realty serving me as an adas a ministrator, physchologist, a music specialist or a counselor? 3. Can I afford the 9100 plus tor my own organisations and Join the association, too? 4. If I dont join, will they realty miss me. and wont I get the benefits anyway? The traditional often classroom teacher" gets caught thinking Of him if iq elementary teacher or a studies teacher or as a first grade, 8Sh grade, math or art teacher. Sometimes those categorised as teachers even make foolish comments which sound like we could do without principals, counselors, psychologists, social people and those district adand supervisors ministrators. Likewise, categorised those as professional support personnel are sometimes found asking the rhetorical, What does the Association do for me? or What have they negotiated for our group? I say foolish comments and rhetorical questions because we all really know that the classroom teacher cant operate alone and that what we get out of the legislature negotiations and from does go to everyone. Those who want constitutional tax limits, freezes on the growth in school expenditures and 4 per cent cuts in established school see our budgets separateness as a splendid opportunity to divide and conquer. Yes, we could all recommend cuts in the other guys program and we could all just join our educational specialty group, but this year you can be n't. Indeed, well either hang together and survive or well be chopped off , cut back and decimated, individually and collectively.
