Ford and Reagan Seek Balanced Budget in 1979 Plan
In Raleigh AP reports President Ford and challenger Reagan back a balanced federal budget as key to reviving the economy. Ford aims for balance by 1979 under a slow and steady plan, with a current deficit near 50 billion and defense up 14 percent. Reagan pushes austerity with a states rights tilt, a phased transfer of Medicaid welfare and related programs, and a monetary growth cap tied to productivity. Both fault Congress for deficit spending and differ on specifics and timetables.
