FIRST NATIONAL BANK 779-1111 STUDENT LOANS FAST AND EASY FIRST NATIONAL BANK 779-1111 The Associated Press NEW YORK— Public outrage is building an unusually sturdy base for President Clinton's push to re shape the federal bureaucracy: 95 percent of Americans think the government wastes lots of money, an Associated Press poll found. Such consensus could help Clin ton push through changes he will outline Tuesday under the rubric of "reinventing government." Based on a study led by Vice President A1 Gore, Clinton is ex pected to propose numerous changes in the way the federal government buys services, hires workers, makes budgets, pays benefits, collects fees and divides duties among agencies. According to the poll, the av erage American thinks 37 per cent of the $1.5 trillion federal budget could realistically be cut as wasteful. While it would be unimaginable for a politician or budget expert to suggest cutting even 30 percent, fully half of those polled say that's how much fat should be cut. One in 10 wanted to do away with more than half the federal budget. Assuming the nation doesn't shirk its debt service or defense plans, the only way Congress could cut more than 30 percent would be to chip away at benefit programs such as Social Security and health care for the elderly. The poll shows most Americans don't consider such popular pro grams wasteful. The response was clear on how much the federal govern ment wastes: 72 percent said "a great deal" and 23 percent said "quite a lot." Two percent said "not very much," and 3 percent were not sure. Opinion was more varied when different categories of spending were mentioned. Fifty-one percent said military spending is wasteful, for example, and dissenters were largely Southerners, people who live outside metropolitan areas and those whose families earn less than $15,000 a year. Welfare seemed wasteful to 59 percent overall, but not to most blacks and to those earning less than $15,000. Seven in 10 people polled say foreign aid is wasteful. Two-thirds of those polled said Social Security spending is effi cient, not wasteful. Men were more likely to consider it wasteful than women, upper-income people more than lower-income, young people more than old people. Re publicans more than Democrats. Those who thought the federal budget could be hacked by half or more were somewhat more likely to consider Social Security waste ful. Even so, six in 10 of these heavy cutters did not call Social Security wasteful. In other categories, 44 percent said the government was waste ful in drug treatment, 44 percent in environmental protection and 42 percent in price supports for farmers.

Quinn Attorney 409) 774-8924 800 927-3115 EL PASO — Former garment worker Adriana Ro driguez didn't need Ross Perot to tell her about the "sucking sound" from the south that meant U.S. jobs were being transferred to Mexico. Perot, the failed independent presidential candi date, used the phrase during last year's election when describing what he believed would be the ef fect of the North American Free Trade Agreement on the U.S. job market. As far as Rodriguez is concerned, she had already heard the sound two years earlier when the garment factory where she worked suddenly moved to Mexi co, leaving her without a job and without prospects of finding one. "That's happening and it's going to keep happen ing," said Rodriguez. She echoed the fears of many garment workers, who believe passage of the trade agreement would accelerate the ongoing flight of jobs like theirs into Mexico, where companies can firld cheaper labor. To her and others, the agreement is a "disaster waiting to happen." The treaty negotiated among the United States, Mexico and Canada would create the world's largest trading bloc by phasing out most barriers to the free movement of goods, services and investment among the countries. And the workers don't hold out much hope that they or Mexican laborers will actually get any help from a side agreement negotiated to improve labor conditions and promote enforcement of national la bor laws in all three nations. "There's no teeth to the whole package," said Sandra Garza Spector, a business agent with the In ternational Ladies Garment Workers Union. The agreement announced Aug. 13 will create a tri-national labor council to work cooperatively on labor issues and provides for sanctions that can be invoked if a country persistently fails to enforce la bor laws. The finer details of the labor agreement and an other side accord on the environment haven't been made available yet, but the debate over what they will mean is already raging among NAFTA propo nents and critics. Gordon Cook, assistant director of the Institute for Manufacturing and Materials Management at the University of Texas-El Paso, said he hasn't seen anything in the labor agreement of "particular sub stance." "If you look at the whole NAFTA agreement, there's really nothing hard and fast in there," he said, "and consequently the environmental and la bor side deals of necessity have icvbe very-broad.V The labor accord eliminated a "few loopholes that potentially could have led to some abuses, from the standpoint of just ensuring that you doq't have sort of raiding of one country's jobs by the other," said Economist Ray Perryman of Perryman Consultants Inc.
