It has become apparent, as
our economy has faltered,
that one of the real problem
areas is the increased costs
caused by government. This

government spending,
serious as that is but also the
impact of Federal programs
and regulations on the
private sector of the
economy.
The price of the
automobile has risen
dramatically because of
Federal pollution control and
safety requirements. The
increased car costs are, at
least, partially responsible
for the downturn in
automobile sales..
Highways, power plants,
public buildings and many
more projects cost more
because of Federal en
vironmental mandates.
Nearly all consumer items -
meat, poultry, fabrics, land,
boats, paint, and credit, to
name a few - are higher
priced because of govern
ment regulations passed
within the last ten years.
The increased cost of
everything has made us take
a look at where pnees are
being pushed upward.
Political liberals have been
shocked to find something
that moderates and con
servatives have been saying
for years; that nearly every
new program government
undertakes is expensive not
only in terms of the tax
money it uses, but also in
terms of its effect on the
whole economy. Therefore,
some liberals are beginning
to say that maybe the
economic impact of
programs should be con
sidered before they are
rushed into law. As someone
who has been concerned
about this problem for a long
time, I could not agree more.
When the liberal
Washington Post came out
editorially the other day in
favor of economic impact
statements prior to
legislating, I was surprised,
probably even shocked. The
Post said, “This is not to
suggest that things like
health insurance or safety
regulations or meat in
spection programs should be
postponed or abandoned.
Rather, it is to suggest that
Congress and the public
should be aware of the full

discussion followed.
PEOPLE BOOM
At the time of Christ the
world’s population was between
200 and 300 million About 9
million lived in Egypt, 54 million
throughout the Roman Empire
and 60 million in China _ A
thousand years later there were
not many more people on earth
than there are in the United
States today—about 275 million
In 1900 the world’s population was
only 1 6 billion, less than half
what it is today
The United States’ share of
world energy consumption is
on the decline. In 1950, the
U.S. consumed 44.5 percent
of the world’s energy. In
1970, it used 31.4 percent.

In other words, it is high
time that Congress docs
more than simply give in to
every pressure group that
comes along with an ex
pensive new program. At
tached to the bill that
proposes that program
should be a complete
statement of what it is going
to cost and who is going to
pay the bill.
If the American people are
aware in advance of the total
expense that the Nation will
be footing, there will be a
good deal less enthusiasm
for many legislative ideas.
But it is only fair that they be
given that information,
