attract that charge Nixon for one imposed a wage price freeze without any warning and in opposition to his own philosophy But Carter did it in a wholesale way Last year for example he said he had balanced the budget but three weeks later everyone could see it was un balanced again He promised to cut inflation but he condoned inflationary spending He instituted wage price guidelines but after a year he relaxed le wage standard He began a new economic program just weeks before the elections And the result seems to have been a loss of credibility and public confidence rooted in the feeling that if the boss believe in his programs after a few weeks then they be trusted at all Reagan comes into office with his economic goals clear He hopes to cut spending cut the size of the bureaucracy cut taxes cut red tape and wasteful regulations spur investments raise productivity Because he has stated his views so distinctly the burden on him to follow through or else lose respect is now probably greater than it ever was on Carter His performance or lack of it is measurable And so even before he took the oath of office speculation arose over whether he might postpone goals that months eanier he had so strongly espoused Everyone has heard them that the closer he got to the big job the more realistic he was becoming that he would back off from his tax cut proposals that he move slowly ratner than aggressively His term has just begun and there are indications the public wants to give him every break but in a few months the ubiquitous noils will begin picking up the mood and
