TO THE EDITOR
Deficit damaging support school budget
To the Editor:
The locus on federal budget
"cuts" obscures the overrid
ing problem in the proposed
new federal budget.
The federal government is
entering a decade of fiscal
decadence. President Rea
gan's budget is out of balance,
in the red by $45 billion
dollars.
This will add to a national
debt of $935.1 billion, making it
nearly a trillion dollars.
The interest paid this year
alone for each man, woman,
and child in Oregon and the
rest of the nation will be
$626.18 if borrowing rates paid
by the federal government
remain around 15 percent.
That interest for each per
son in Oregon will be the equal
of one year's Oregon State
General Fund expenditure.
For Oregonians, that interest
for one year is $1.64 billion.
Even assuming the interest
rates on federal borrowing
drop to an average of 8
percent over the ten years, the
amount of interest alone, with
nothing added to the federal
debt at all, will be $5,220 for
each man, woman and child
for the ten years.
To gauge the amount of $45
billion, just think of a stack of
$1,000 bills just over two miles
high. That is the amount by
which the proposed federal
one year budget is in a deficit
condition.
This deficit is more impor
tant and damaging to the
people of Oregon than the
specific details of programs
cut.

To the Editor:
As a member of the Morrow
County School District Budget
Committee I urge your sup
port of the school district
budget by voting YES on
March 31.
The budget represents an
increase of less than ten
percent at a time when
inflation rates are ranging
upward to twelve percent or
better.
Members of the, budget
committee have looked at the
uncertain future filled with
high projected costs and
uncertain revenue and have
attempted to present a realis
tic budget proposal which is
designed to help sustain the
efforts of the school district.
This budget request is split
into an A and B Ballot in order
to conform to state statutes.
Voter approval of both ballots
will be necessary in order to
provide the funds necessary to
continue the districts educa
tional program.
Because of the require
ments of the new budget laws,
the budget committee could
not reduce the budget enough
to have only a single A Ballot.
If this had been done, many of
the school district's programs
would have been curtailed.
The budget committee felt it
was not in the best interests of
out young people to reduce the
budget that severely.

note correction
To the Editor:
In this time of "alphabet
soup" agencies, it is easily
understandable how confusion
can exist. For instance, in last
week's paper in a Letter to the
Editor, Theta Lowe twice
mentioned the executive
board of ECOAC when she
really meant the executive
committee of AAA. This
mixup of acronyms has
wrongly identified a group of
people serving as ECOAC
2 directors with an issue in
which they are not in any way
involved. It is hoped that
readers will take note of this
correction.
