Reagan budget faces sharp criticism from both parties
President Reagan asks Congress for a low growth 973.7 billion budget for the coming year, freezing or cutting many domestic programs while boosting defense by 30 billion. The plan would cut mass transit, housing, student aid, end revenue sharing, end Amtrak subsidy, and impose a 5 percent pay cut for federal workers, with Congress expected to hold hearings and vote amid partisan friction.
