PAGE 14-PLAIN!) FA LE R • FRIDAY. JANUARY 2,1981 MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) of government will touch everyone. We will have to find substitutes for the generosity of a government that has been spending money generated easily and quickly (Hi the printing presses. Businessmen nave received government-guaranteed - loans; students have been supported with federally-backed loans or direct grants; artists have found their works supported from tax money - and these are only a few. All of them will feel the crunch. A reduction in the size of government should benefit everyone in the long run because it should reduce inflation. But it ..can't happen because of Ronald Reagan - or anyone else - who tries to do it. alone. To accomplish the goals mandated by the voting public Nov. 4 will demand strong leadership. But it will demand more. It doesn't have a chance of working without patience and self-sacrifice on the part of the rest of us. It isn't easy to be asked to give up something that has been given to us over a long period of time. We should have known this when we voted and been prepared to share the burden. In fact, maybe the mo6t important accomplishment - if it is successful - would be a spirit of independence we haven't known in a long time. Mo6t folks agree that our country is afflicted with ills. As in most cases, the cure is certainly better than the disease, but it is often just as painful.
