Dear Michael: I will tell you what I would do, and this is based upon serving 3 years on a Minnie Grace Commission (commission set up to reduce, in our case, county govt. expenditures). I would cancell EVERY program EXCEPT SS & Medicare. Then I would rebuild from the ground up, meaning every program to be reinstated would have to demonstrate its value and demonstrate its budget. Generally speaking programs NEVER GET CANCELLED and get budetary increases comparable to cost of living often even more. We got programs going back to the NEW DEAL. Are they valuable any longer, who knows, no one has ever had to demonstate they are. Feifdoms are created and no one wants to surrender their TURF. JDN
