795 November 2,1990 YOUR NEW TAXES WORKING FOR YOU INTRODUCITON Washington has cheated the brim taxpayer once again with another grand budget deal that allegedly will reduce the deficit. Congressional leaders arc now congratulating themselves for their Ipolitical courage" in passing what they claim Q a five-year plan to eliminate the deficit by raising over $140 billion in new taxes and enacting deep cuts in federal sp ending. Supporters of this plan are telling the tr& when they say that taxes will rise, they are not when they say that spending will be cut. Members of Congress did not have the courage to cut one dollar of waste pork, fraud, or unneccss81y spending hm th e 6scall991 budget. Indeed they gave their favorite programs healthy increases ovcr fiscal 1990 funding levels, and these programs will continue to grow over the five-year life of this package. Nondefense domestic spending is guaranteed to increase by $24 5 billion through 1995, or 6 percent per yew, to this must be added growth in net interest on the debt and the cost of the Savings and Loan bailout. Rather than applying the new tax revenues toward deficit reduction, Congress in stead will spend 61.75 for every new dollar of taxes raised in this package. Addicted to Spending. The alleged "savings" in this package really are so called "spending off-sets" comprised of $110 billion in increased user fees hidden taxes, and budgetary accounting gimmicks. Since e very dollar of revenues raised through these off-sets frees up another dollar for more pro gram spending, Congress can claim to be saving taxpayers money while in creasing spending proportionately.The only honest method of reducing federal spending is for members of Congress to admit that they are addicted to spending and to show political courage by shooing the special interest groups away from the federal feeding trough Questions for Congress. There is no need for Congress to dismantle the social safety n et or weaken national security to reduce the deficit. Members of Congress do need to ask whether each federal program, such as those listed in the appendix to this study, truly serve the national interest. Should taxpayers in Florida, for example, pay par t of the $4.4 million needed for a railroad crossing project in Springfield;Illinois Or should residents of Min neapolis subsidize a 2.6 million flood control project at the Sam Rayburn Reservoir inTexas Is it really a national priority to spend $3.6 milli on for an urban gardening program 205,000 for the Karamu Theater Project in Cleveland, Ohio, or $50,000 for seedless grape research in Arkansas? Congressmen should ask a few simple questions about each program. If they answer yes, then the program does not require federal funds, and Con gress should take action to reform, restructure, or eliminate the program. The questions 1) Does the program serve localized or special interests rather than 2) Has the program failed, fulfilled its mission, outlived its us efulness 3) Is Congress funding duplicate or contradictory programs 4) Does the program or service have identifiable users and should not these users pay for the service or good they receive 5) Is Congress engaging in central planning or attempting to set na tional priorities that should be left to communities or individuals 6) Can the program or service be provided by private charities and neighborhood organizations 7) Is the federal program competing with private commercial enterprises 8) Has Congress pr e vented people from helping themselves by em powering bureaucrats and experts rather than those individuals that the program was intended to help 9) Is Congress creating a program to compensate for laws or regula tions that prevent the private sector from r esponding to peoples needs and demands 10) If deficit reduction is so important, cannot spending for this project or program be postponed another year until the government is in a better financial position the nation as a whole or simply become irrelevant To be sure, many programs currently funded by the federal government may be worthwhile. Yet they may be best provided by smaller branches of government, the private sector, or individuals themselves. Filling potholes on 2 Main Street and fixing a local ra ilroad crossing in Springfield are not roles for a national Congress. Many programs were established to achieve specific national goals during extreme national conditions like the Depression or World War 11, yet they were never dismantled when these condit ions changed. Example: the Rural Electrification Administration REA) was established during the 1930s to bring electricity, and later telephone service to rural America. Today, nearly 100 percent of rural America has electkity and nearly 99 percent has te l ephones, yet REA still spends $2 billion of taxpayers money per year Duplications and Contradictions. Since Congress almost never ends out dated programs or reforms them to meet modem times, it tends to add new layers of programs on top of the old when co n stituents demand congressional action. Congress also tends to spread these new programs over many agencies so that as many constituencies as possible become dependent on the pro gram. If a new program then proves a failure or contradicts the mission of an other program, Congress then creates yet another layer of programs to solve the problems generated by the duplication. Example: There are roughly 60 anti-poverty programs administered by the federal government. Nearly every federal agency has its own anti- poverty program, including the military, if certain veterans assistance programs are counted. Recent pres sures on Congress to do something about homelessness led to the passage of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987, named after the l a te Connecticut Republican Congressman, which created seventeen dif ferent programs administered through seven federal agencies cies become most dependent when Congress makes itself the sole funding source for a program, especially one which has noble or l o fty goals. Then the nobility of the programs goal places an invisible barrier against public scrutiny and accountability. In human health research programs, for ilistance the result of this lack of scrutiny is often absurd projects, such as the fabled 84, O OO study of why people fall in love or the $2,500 study of the causes of rudeness, lying, and cheating on tennis courts. Requiring researchers to get half of their research monies from the private sector would seem a reasonable method of weeding out such p rojects Creating dependent constituencies is the lifeblood of Congress. Constituen All of the shortcomings of the budget process led to the chaotic situation in Washington this fall.The federal government was kept open by emergency legislation for a few d ays at a time, and even closed for two days. Members of Congress were asked to vote on huge spending bill that they had no time to review. And in the end, spending increased to record levels. Bracing for a Recession. At a time when families and many major corpora tions are bracing themselves for a recession, Congress is raising Americans taxes and expanding the size of government. With all of Congresss claims of spending cuts and deficit reduction, not one of the over 3 million civilian federal workers wil l lose his or her job as a result. In fact, most workers will receive pay increases and many programs actually will add more staff 3 The following pages compile some'of the programs that members of Con gress could have reformed or eljminated if they genuin e ly wanted to cut spending.This list is not exhaustive. Nor does it include examples from ap propriations bills not yet printed, such as the Departments of Defense and In terior, and the District of Columbia. Unavailable for scrutiny too is the ap propriat ions bill for the Legislative Branch. Had it been printed, it would show the 30 percent pay raise that Congress gave itself earlier this year. Scott A.

795 November 2,1990 YOUR NEW TAXES WORKING FOR YOU INTRODUCITON Washington has cheated the brim taxpayer once again with another grand budget deal that allegedly will reduce the deficit. Congressional leaders arc now congratulating themselves for their Ipolitical courage" in passing what they claim Q a five-year plan to eliminate the deficit by raising over $140 billion in new taxes and enacting deep cuts in federal sp ending. Supporters of this plan are telling the tr& when they say that taxes will rise, they are not when they say that spending will be cut. Members of Congress did not have the courage to cut one dollar of waste pork, fraud, or unneccss81y spending hm th e 6scall991 budget. Indeed they gave their favorite programs healthy increases ovcr fiscal 1990 funding levels, and these programs will continue to grow over the five-year life of this package. Nondefense domestic spending is guaranteed to increase by $24 5 billion through 1995, or 6 percent per yew, to this must be added growth in net interest on the debt and the cost of the Savings and Loan bailout. Rather than applying the new tax revenues toward deficit reduction, Congress in stead will spend 61.75 for every new dollar of taxes raised in this package. Addicted to Spending. The alleged "savings" in this package really are so called "spending off-sets" comprised of $110 billion in increased user fees hidden taxes, and budgetary accounting gimmicks. Since e very dollar of revenues raised through these off-sets frees up another dollar for more pro gram spending, Congress can claim to be saving taxpayers money while in creasing spending proportionately.The only honest method of reducing federal spending is for members of Congress to admit that they are addicted to spending and to show political courage by shooing the special interest groups away from the federal feeding trough Questions for Congress. There is no need for Congress to dismantle the social safety n et or weaken national security to reduce the deficit. Members of Congress do need to ask whether each federal program, such as those listed in the appendix to this study, truly serve the national interest. Should taxpayers in Florida, for example, pay par t of the $4.4 million needed for a railroad crossing project in Springfield;Illinois Or should residents of Min neapolis subsidize a 2.6 million flood control project at the Sam Rayburn Reservoir inTexas Is it really a national priority to spend $3.6 milli on for an urban gardening program 205,000 for the Karamu Theater Project in Cleveland, Ohio, or $50,000 for seedless grape research in Arkansas? Congressmen should ask a few simple questions about each program. If they answer yes, then the program does not require federal funds, and Con gress should take action to reform, restructure, or eliminate the program. The questions 1) Does the program serve localized or special interests rather than 2) Has the program failed, fulfilled its mission, outlived its us efulness 3) Is Congress funding duplicate or contradictory programs 4) Does the program or service have identifiable users and should not these users pay for the service or good they receive 5) Is Congress engaging in central planning or attempting to set na tional priorities that should be left to communities or individuals 6) Can the program or service be provided by private charities and neighborhood organizations 7) Is the federal program competing with private commercial enterprises 8) Has Congress pr e vented people from helping themselves by em powering bureaucrats and experts rather than those individuals that the program was intended to help 9) Is Congress creating a program to compensate for laws or regula tions that prevent the private sector from r esponding to peoples needs and demands 10) If deficit reduction is so important, cannot spending for this project or program be postponed another year until the government is in a better financial position the nation as a whole or simply become irrelevant To be sure, many programs currently funded by the federal government may be worthwhile. Yet they may be best provided by smaller branches of government, the private sector, or individuals themselves. Filling potholes on 2 Main Street and fixing a local ra ilroad crossing in Springfield are not roles for a national Congress. Many programs were established to achieve specific national goals during extreme national conditions like the Depression or World War 11, yet they were never dismantled when these condit ions changed. Example: the Rural Electrification Administration REA) was established during the 1930s to bring electricity, and later telephone service to rural America. Today, nearly 100 percent of rural America has electkity and nearly 99 percent has te l ephones, yet REA still spends $2 billion of taxpayers money per year Duplications and Contradictions. Since Congress almost never ends out dated programs or reforms them to meet modem times, it tends to add new layers of programs on top of the old when co n stituents demand congressional action. Congress also tends to spread these new programs over many agencies so that as many constituencies as possible become dependent on the pro gram. If a new program then proves a failure or contradicts the mission of an other program, Congress then creates yet another layer of programs to solve the problems generated by the duplication. Example: There are roughly 60 anti-poverty programs administered by the federal government. Nearly every federal agency has its own anti- poverty program, including the military, if certain veterans assistance programs are counted. Recent pres sures on Congress to do something about homelessness led to the passage of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987, named after the l a te Connecticut Republican Congressman, which created seventeen dif ferent programs administered through seven federal agencies cies become most dependent when Congress makes itself the sole funding source for a program, especially one which has noble or l o fty goals. Then the nobility of the programs goal places an invisible barrier against public scrutiny and accountability. In human health research programs, for ilistance the result of this lack of scrutiny is often absurd projects, such as the fabled 84, O OO study of why people fall in love or the $2,500 study of the causes of rudeness, lying, and cheating on tennis courts. Requiring researchers to get half of their research monies from the private sector would seem a reasonable method of weeding out such p rojects Creating dependent constituencies is the lifeblood of Congress. Constituen All of the shortcomings of the budget process led to the chaotic situation in Washington this fall.The federal government was kept open by emergency legislation for a few d ays at a time, and even closed for two days. Members of Congress were asked to vote on huge spending bill that they had no time to review. And in the end, spending increased to record levels. Bracing for a Recession. At a time when families and many major corpora tions are bracing themselves for a recession, Congress is raising Americans taxes and expanding the size of government. With all of Congresss claims of spending cuts and deficit reduction, not one of the over 3 million civilian federal workers wil l lose his or her job as a result. In fact, most workers will receive pay increases and many programs actually will add more staff 3 The following pages compile some'of the programs that members of Con gress could have reformed or eljminated if they genuin e ly wanted to cut spending.This list is not exhaustive. Nor does it include examples from ap propriations bills not yet printed, such as the Departments of Defense and In terior, and the District of Columbia. Unavailable for scrutiny too is the ap propriat ions bill for the Legislative Branch. Had it been printed, it would show the 30 percent pay raise that Congress gave itself earlier this year. Scott A.
