A sweeping tax cut and spending package reduces federal outlays on Social Security by 2.2 billion, food stamps by 1.7 billion, and employment training by 4.6 billion, while restricting 11.6 billion in housing contracts. A typical four person family would see tax relief rising to 464 by 1984, yet the plan reshapes entitlement funding and government obligations.
