Reagan attacks House leadership over 1983 budget plan
President Reagan, in his eighth weekly radio address, criticizes House Speaker O’Neill and Democratic leaders for cutting the 1981 tax cut rather than reducing deficits through spending cuts. He notes Senate passage of a $784 billion budget outline with higher taxes and less defense spending, while Udall denounces Reaganomics as risky and ineffective. O’Neill defends Medicare while signaling the budget debate will focus on GOP criticisms.

Urban Americans See Higher 1980 Income Gains Than Rural
Government data show urban per capita income rose 12.1 percent to 10,153 in 1980 while rural areas grew 8.7 percent to 7,556. Inflation hit 10.2 percent, and the 1980 recession reduced gains for both groups, with rural areas hit harder. The report notes only three times since 1969 urban growth outpaced rural, including 1974 and 1980 during recessions.
