Debates on trillion dollar debt and new oil from microbes
The article discusses Reagan era debt rising toward one trillion dollars amid high interest costs. It also profiles microbial oil production as a potential domestic fuel source, with Morris Wayman asserting ponds could yield millions of barrels annually. If viable, this could reduce imports and spur new industries, reshaping energy economics and competition with OPEC.

Reagan Transition Faces Conservative Backlash Over Appointments
A Washington clash over Reagan’s transition team sees movement conservatives angry at top posts going to Nixon and Ford veterans. James Cavanaugh and Peter McPherson push moderates, sidelining conservatives, despite Meese and Reagan promising broad consideration. A Dec 8 meeting of conservative writers spurred direct protests to Reagan, who ordered more favorable treatment of conservatives for posts and personnel. The conflict escalated at the Dec 27 Kitchen Cabinet session with William Wilson and Anne Armstrong criticizing James’s lean toward retreads.

Moscow’s economic arms deal in Soviet aid strategy
Moscow pursues military and economic aid as profit, selling arms to Iraq for petroleum and reselling to Europe. It targets gas minerals and grains, using scarce spare parts and services as leverage, while officials admit the system remains in the hands of those who created the problem.
