Jobs Bill Losing Friends In 1976 Campaign
The Humphrey Hawkins full employment bill, once the centerpiece of the Democratic campaign, is being slimmed and shifted. The revised measure would target unemployment only for workers over 20, delay direct government hiring, and add inflation containment as a paired goal. Democrats hope the changes quell fears of inflation while keeping the jobs issue alive.

Cost of Representation and Its Rising Congressional Spending
A Tax Foundation study notes that Congress spent 925 million dollars in its public interests last fiscal year, nearly triple 1970 and five times 1960. Salaries for lawmakers and expanding staff drive the rise, with a 44 percent increase since 1970. The legislative budget is about a quarter of a percent of total federal outlays, while the federal budget grew 90 percent since 1970 and Congress 168 percent. Representation growth, cost, and efficiency are questioned.

Solons Spend More And More On Themselves
Washington report notes Tax Foundation findings that Congress spent nearly $1 billion on itself in the last fiscal year, a rise from 1970 and 1960 levels. It argues lawmakers’ pay, staff growth, and agency budgets inflate the total, while lawmakers blame Democratic control and emphasize the burden on ordinary people.
Only In Oklahoma Switzer courts nonpolitical image
OU coach Barry Switzer says he stays nonpolitical though he once gave a football to Jimmy Carter. He notes he does not woo politicians unless they meet age and weight quirks and hints political ties blur in a college town. Switzer’s Oklahoma speech leaves unclear which national hero Carter aimed to align with.
