Show Page 2 DIXIE SUN January 27, 1989 News Theres Ground To Be Broken, Keep Moving Your Lips, George Kelly Goddard Staff Writer A king has stepped down from the throne. But instead of a prince taking his place, a supposed magician is now warming the seat. George Herbert Walker Bush was inaugurated 41st president of the United States last Friday. Bush has retired the cliche "no new taxes" and is now saying "this is the age of the offered hand." Bush said, "My friends, we have work to do. There are homeless." Then, he said, "A new breeze is blowing, and a nation refreshed by freedom stands ready to push on. There is ground to be broken." The tone in Bush's voice sounded as if he is going use his blowing breeze and his offered hands to break ground the Reagan administration ignored. After the inauguration, there was a parade consisting of 78 floats, 56 bands, and 22 horse units. Among the droves of floats was the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Also, a float carrying Disney characters Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy. d Cabinet members. No, these weren't Bush's George Bush has surrounded himself with some very competent people; they're everything but Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy. George Bush has appointed a woman, a black, and two Hispanics to his Cabinet, and encouraged all of his Cabinet members to hire minorities. Bush realizes that whites dominate upper-rankin-g government jobs, therefore, he stressed that races should have an equal voice in government decision making. George Bush has chosen Dr. Louis Sullivan, a black, as Secretary of Health and Human Services, Manuel Lujan, a Hispanic, as Secretary of the Interior, and Elizabeth Dole, Senators Robert Dole's wife, as Secretary of Labor. Now that George Bush has organized his administration, he is going to have to find ways to fulfill the promises he made during his campaign. When George Bush was canvassing the nation, he left the reminder of the national debt in Washington. He found it easy to promise a utopia and say "no new taxes" outside of Washington. When Ronald Reagan was campaigning, he found it simple to say there would be no tax increases. But, newly-appointe- ever-consta- after he took office, he managed to increase government spend-An- d yes, he didn't raise taxes, but he doubled the national ing. debt. This country can't afford to do it again. Alan Greenspan, Federal Reserve Board Chairman, crashed party with the reminder that the George Bush's deficit must be addressed. People at the party weren't quite sure if George heard Alan, or only read his lips from across the post-electi- Promising no new taxes could prove to be a very costly commitment on the behalf of George Bush. When Ronald Reagan promised, during his campaign, that he wouldn't raise taxes, he knew that he had eager foreign investors behind him ready to buy U. S. Bonds. But George Bush, on the other hand, foreign investors says what Reagan did, but don't stand anywhere near George. Presently, the United States is borrowing more than $10 billion a month from foreign countries to finance the trade and budget deficits. The announcement of Alan Greenspan caused chills of pessimism up the spines of many foreign investors. If foreigners quit buying U.S. bonds, inflation will rise and interest rates will follow. But if interest rates are permitted to rise, g the of the nation, unfortunately, will not follow. We eager-to-buy-bo- well-bein- will be experiencing recess: once again according to mar economists.
