South Carolina Eyes Efficient Budget in 1986 Plans
South Carolina lawmakers through the House Ways and Means Committee will review all agency budgets and formula funding to stretch the 1985 86 purse. They consider reallocations and possible tax increases, though voters oppose new taxes. Major items include education funding, prison crowding costs, and employee pay raises as they face a tight remaining balance of about 16 million for new programs.

Impact of Reagan budget on individual Americans
The budget would broadly improve many Americans but slow aid for housing and youth programs. Housing subsidies for the poor and elderly would halt for two years, and VA loan costs could rise by as much as 2850 dollars. Job training for youths would shrink with cuts to adult training and Summer Youth Employment. Student aid faces a 2.3 billion cut. Social Security increases are allowed, but Medicaid and Medicare payments face caps and fee increases for beneficiaries.
