At the other end of the proverbial ladder, the. twenty percent on the bottom rung get only 5.4. What to do about this particular state of affairs is thfe subject of bitter debate in America today. Citing the figures above, liberals point out that everybody does not have the same income, and, consequently, standards of living vary. They continue their reasoning with the postulate that everybody is equal, and, therefore, that they should all get a fair (i.e., equal) share of the pie. How to cut the pie is else something again. Populist types will appeal to the eighty percent of us who fall somewhere in the middle by demanding that the rich be soaked to uplift the this But poor. ploy does not fool realists, who know that we must all be soaked, and very well, too, if that bottom twenty percent is to live off the earnings of the rest of us. Another approach, popular with Congress, is to have the cake and eat it too, namely not to raise taxes, but to increase social welfare spending anyway, thus adding to the already huge federal deficit. We are traveling that road now, and we shall pay dearly for it in the future. Wherever the money is to come from, social welfare spending is increasing by leaps and bounds. In fiscal 1975 it accounted for 42 of total Federal spending. Observed former HEW Secretary Caspar If social Weinberger: programs continue growing for the next two decades at the same pace they have in the last two, we will spend more than half of our whole product for domestic social programs alone by the year 2000.

At the same time that the Soviets are spending about twice as much a year for strategic forces as we do, they are outspending us in research and devdopment by twenty percent. How much longer can our technological lead last?. One might well ask: Why hasnt the public been told these facts? Secretary of Defense Schlesinger and other key officials have repeatedly put these facts on the record but nobody seems to be listening.
