Carter Platform Pushes Job Growth and Budget Reform
NEW YORK RP The Democratic National Convention poised to adopt a platform balancing social programs with budget tightening and agency reviews. It aims to cut adult unemployment to 3 percent in four years, while pledging to begin health insurance and minimum income programs and to evaluate ending or merging programs. Abortion language faced late contest, with Carter advocating minimizing abortions under the Supreme Court ruling. A Hatch Act modification siding with compromise appeared likely, while rail against full repeal failed. The plank stresses living wages and opportunities for all willing workers, with four-year job goals sparking inflation worries among some economists.
