Nancy Feels the Pinch of Inflation


(Source: San Francisco Chronicle, 3/5/81)

*C.W.B: Impoverished! Ronnie might have to give up a Cadillac and a Continental or two! It is sad that Ronald Reagan and Nancy haven't the slightest concept of the terrible impact his actions and proposals will have on the poor! He has stated that he wants a 32 billion increase in the military budget. In the face of the "people needs" in this country this is obscene! Military experts tell us that the United States and the Soviet Union each have enough nuclear capability to destroy the other many times over. What then, is the rationale for more?

I would personally feel more secure if we would decrease our arms supplies and begin acting like intelligent human beings. Give peace a chance! Discussion, arbitration, give and take, compromise.

The current practice reminds on of small boys and their disagreements: One gets a stick and the other feels he must get a larger stick, and so on. The difference, of course, is the deadly potential of the arms race.
