Clinton set to cut health-care costs
On Capitol Hill in recent days, members of Clinton's economic team have said the incoming administration was considering spending reductions in programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
Effort to reduce deficit will begin with entitlements
WASHINGTON — President-elect Clinton's search for big budget savings includes possible cuts in costly benefit programs that serve the elderly, the sick and the poor.
ANALYSIS
That puts tens of millions of voters who benefit from those programs in his gun sights for reductions they certainly would oppose.
But it also takes Clinton to where the real money is. Half of the $1.5 trillion federal budget goes to such "entitlements," or benefit programs. That proportion is growing annually.
That means the new administration is looking at cuts in benefits as a way to make its deficit reduction plan effective.
One thing Clinton now seems unlikely to pursue is his campaign promise of a middle-class tax cut.
And by conceding that cuts in Social Security, Medicare and other benefit programs are even under consideration, Clinton's aides took a step that most politicians have avoided for the
past decade.
The reason: Public opposition to Social Security changes is so fierce that many lawnmakers call it the third rail of American politics.
But Medicare and Medicaid are considered the likely targets for savings because they are growing so rapidly, accounting for 85 percent of the growth of all benefit programs, the Congressional Budget Office says.
But some say that to control Medicare and Medicaid, Clinton will seek to reform the nation's entire healthcare system, public and private.
Although Clinton considers healthcare reform a top priority, it is likely to take years for actual savings to emerge from any plan.
deficit-reduction plan will rely most heavily for Medicare and Medicaid savings in its later years.
Social Security is considered another likely deficit-cutting target because of its sheer size.
"The record on that is pretty clear and written with large characters; Congress doesn't like to mess with that," said former Rep. Bill Frenzel, R.Minn., who was one of Congress' budget experts.
If Clinton does turn to Social Security, Senate Budget Committee Chairman James Sasser, D-Tern., said he believes Clinton would not propose reducing the annual cost-of-living adjustment beneficiaries receive.
Instead, he says Clinton is more likely to seek an increase in taxes paid on the benefits.
BRIEFS
Marines use restraint in disarming Somalis
MOGADISHU, Somalia — A U.S. Marine patrol runs into gunfire. The Somali bandits drop their weapons and raise their hands as the troops close in on them.
A young punk pulls a long knife on a soldier and refuses to drop it for several tense moments.
But as they scour the blighted, sprawling capital of one million people for snipers, some Marines are getting frustrated. Just before the first fatal shooting of a Marine, the Marine commander issued an "attitude adjustment" memo noting some troops had "lost sight of the humanitarian nature of their mission."
Maj. Gen, Charles Wilhelm admonished those who didn't wave to Somali children, blew their horns in traffic jams and crowded crowds aside while on patrols.
"In Vietnam we would have blown him away," said veteran Sgt. Maj. Robert Sexton, of Marianna, Fla. In these and other confrontations, troops would probably have been justified in pulling their triggers. But they did not — risking their own lives to save civilians and stay within bounds of the current rules of engagement.
"A lot of people aren't going to like Salomis either though some are innocent," said Lance Cpl. Jesse De Guzman, 21, of San Jose, Calif. "You start looking at them differently. It just gets you mad inside, but you have to hold it in."
CBS expected to become new home of Letterman
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — The duel over David Letterman drew to an end yesterday. Word was expected that the irascible talk-show host will take his "Stupid Pet Tricks" and his Top 10 lists — plus new millions — to CBS.
NBC Entertainment President Warren Littlefield was expected to announce that the network was unable to come to terms with the host of "Late Night With David Letterman."
In turn, CBS was set to announce it had signed Letteman to a contract call for an 10:30 p.m. talk show, against his old friend Jay Leno and NBC's "The Tonight Show."
