SENATOR* SAMERVIR * MB « | ...... ———■ Anyone surveying the national pulse would find much concern about our country's problems. They range over the whole spec trum of American life. Not the least of these concerns is the problem of Inflation. Prosperity is said to be at an all time high, but the stock market is having a bad case of the jitters trying to assess the state of the economy. Some of the financial concern is over how to finance a war and more government spending at home. But the truth is that it has taken a war to bring us to realization that we are over com mitted at home and abroad, and have been for some time. \ Until the strain on Hie dollar became evident nobody bother ed to listen to arguments about foreign aid and deficit spending. Still we are told that the best way to curb inflation is not by cutting Federal spending on programs that might be deferred, but to increase taxes. I am opposed to a tax increase, because I think we ought to go back to fundamental teachings that have been neglected for a long time. Simply put, the best way to prevent inflation is for the United States to quit deficit spending, balance the budget, and manifest a sincere purpose gradually to retire the $17.8 billion national debt. It would take courage to do this, but in the long run, the country would be much better off. Before the new theories of economics became a part of our national policies, there were abiding convictions held by most people of "man, economics, and government." Then people rejected the notion that "men should be paid for existing," or that "government should support the people," or that "deficit spending is good for the country." But the old maxims were built upon the experience of man kind and the world has never found a better productive rule than that "free men can be persuaded to produce things of value only if they are permitted to retain a fair share of the fruits of their labor for themsetves and their families." So we have prided ourselves on the fact that each year the sum of our achievements brings the total of the Gross National Product to a new high. A few days ago, "The Washington Even ing Star" questioned the reliability of this standard. It said our our yardstick was measuring "not only the good but the bad, not only the gifts of civilization but the inane and the phony, it even makes inflation look like an asset." The Star went on to say that "Photic back scratchers are in the GNP. So is the Rayburn Building, . So are hydrogen bombs and’the high cost of funerals. So are the gate receipts, say of the last Clay-Liston fight, though some would question how that per formance could be defended as either goods or service." To the point, the Star warned: ". . . America is the first to include all her creations, good and hideous, in a single statistic and then brag about it." The average citizen is inclined to say "so what?" until infla tion hits his pocketbook and the price of bacon causes comment at the breakfast table. It then becomes manifest that we have not created new rules for our game. Inflation comes, the national debt soars, capital flees abroad, money loses its real value and the people suffer staggering economic blows. It has been said before, but soon or later. Government must abide by the rules toe* in the world of money, and it ought to do so before the people suffer, »fs4 4/8QUART PINT Samuel B.
