The proposal would abolish or transfer programs to state control while giving pre-empted tax sources to fund them, aiming to cut federal spending and curb the federal debt amid a high annual budget environment.

Reagan plan to shrink government faces mixed reviews
The outline proposes higher taxes on Heathcliff, cutting or ending several federal programs to save billions. It highlights retirement contributions for military and staff, termination of L E A A and the five year revenue sharing, abolishing anti poverty programs, higher postage rates, and state transfer of welfare programs. Critics warn of elderly hardship and radical change.
