Communication Problem Inadequate News From Inner Circles
A partial explanation for President Nixon's troubles lies in George E. Reedy's The Twilight of the Presidency. Reedy, former press secretary to President Johnson, argues that presidents rely on aides who filter news to flatter the top leader, often masking important information and shaping policy.

Spending trend shows sharp cuts in federal outlays
From 1943 to 1999 average federal spending rose over 13 percent yearly. By fiscal 1970 momentum fell to about 74 percent and in the next year the increase would be cut in half again. Even with inflation, real spending would not rise next year, a track record aimed at proving the administration’s pledge. Pressure from spenders in Congress favored continuing vast spending policies.
