Reaganomics: Budget Cuts Hit States and Programs
The Reagan budget cuts trigger layoffs and service reductions across the United States. Oklahoma raises school lunch prices by a nickel, Vermont cuts legal aid by 25 percent with 12 lawyers losing jobs, and a Florida Vietnam veteran worries about housing as social programs shrink. CETA job losses approach 300,000 nationwide, with Vermont and Iowa reporting notable cuts. Food stamp eligibility tightens, lowering household income thresholds, while Oklahoma suspends or scales back local programs.

Astronomers using major observatories report a colossal void nearly 300 million light years wide and containing far fewer galaxies than expected, a finding that could force revisions to the cosmological principle and models of cosmic evolution. Observations relied on red shift surveys near Bootes, with Kitt Peak Mount Hopkins and Palomar telescopes revealing gaps in galaxy distribution.
