Page 2-B WASHINGTON —At one time or another, almost all Americans give some thought to what is commonly described as "big government." But just how big the federal government really is—well, this is something almost beyond comprehen sion, even when one looks at the cold, hard arithmetic of it. Dozens of statistical reports flow across my desk each week. I saw one a few days ago that pointed out that the cost of operating the federal government this year will exceed $2,500 for each man, woman and child in the United States; Another report—and this one was prepared in detail — disclosed a survey of 48 businesses in the United States, and the cost to consumers of the federal controls imposed upon just these 48 companies. The total cost of federal controls — and I would emphasize again that this report .covered only 48 companies—was $2,600,000,000 last year. WHO PAYS?—But, you say it doesn't affect you? Think again. The $2.6 billion spent last year by these 48 com panies to handle the federal red tape actually came out of your pocket, and the pocket of every other American buying the products of these companies. New controls imposed by the federal government last year alone resulted in an extra $666 being tacked on to the price of every new car. Federal controls added thousands of dollars to the cost of every new house being built in America. And so on. t EPA —The Environmental Protection Agency is by far the most costly federal agency insofar as the consumer is con cerned. The Washington Post, which published an account of the study, indicated that the $2.6 billion cost was probably low, because, as the newspaper put it, no attempt was made to mea sure "secondary effects such as productivity losses, delays and foregone opportunities." Had all of the adverse effects been calculated, the news paper said, the cost of federal regulations would run into "tens of billions of dollars.” And that involves only 48 of the nation's thousands upon thousands of businesses! SMALL BUSINESS—Consider the awesome impact upon the small businesses of America. Many of them are going out of business completely. They have no way to cope with the deluge of federal red tape, regulations and guidelines pouring out of Washington, D. C. The same thing is happening to our schools, colleges and universities. One day, I hope the University of North Carolina will let the people of our state know precisely how much it has cost to deal with yEW and Secretary Califano these past few years. I recall seeing some figures a year or so ago indicating that it cost Duke University an average of SSOO per year per student just to comply with federal regulations and red tape. Sometimes I am criticized for voting against the con tinuation of such a federal dictatorship. I will always believe, , however, that if enough Members pf Congress would vote to cut the federal government down to size, and eliminate a great deal of these controls and red tape, our nation could quickly regain its stability and its strength. One thing is for sure: We are headed for disaster now. But if we can just get a more sensible Congress, and a more sensible Executive Branch, we can reverse our present course. - This we must do, before it's too late. Looking & For A Home?
