Excerpt
In an interview published in The Atlantic, budget director David Stockman contrasted the powerful forces possessing "weak claims " to federal funds with the ' 'weak clients" having powerful claims to public support. The current state of the economy has intensified the competition between these two groups. Those who lack the power to press their strong claims for just treatment - the elderly poor, the handicapped, the disabled , children and their low income mothers - are being asked again this year to bear more than their share in the drive to cut back federal spending.
