' National economist in Augusta Brimmer: Reagan scores lowest By Fannie Flono Nationally known black economist Andrew Brimmer said last week in Augusta that Ronald Reagan scores considerably lower than any other presidential candidate on issues important to blacks. Brimmer, president of Brimmer and Company, Inc., Economic and Financial Consultants, and a former member of the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors was in Augusta for the 19th Annual Meeting of the CSRA Planning and Development Commission. “There is a substantial difference in the policy prescriptions of the two major candidates,” Brimmer said. “If Mr. Reagan were president as opposed to Mr. s??®ii iff'? *jBU § ; "'llKill BrS ■• SS™ BRR. f^BEiiJFA-- -Wpfy-> yJUBM_ < ’‘te’crf v» X?\ | , ’?^'|H- J ;'‘^''j. ~W •• BLACK COLLEGES-President Jimmy Carter addresses a group of civil rights leaders, representatives from the United Negro College Fund and the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education and black college presidents in the Rose Garden of the Attnitsia iVpuw-ißritjrivi Carter, I would suspect Mr. Reagan would put far more emphasis on private initiative.” On a list of economic policy suggestions by the Congressional Black Caucus with a perfect score of 100, Kennedy scored 83, Carter 43, Anderson 32, Bush 23 and Reagan 13, Brimmer said. The scores were based on the speeches, voting records, interviews and literature distributed by the candidates, Brimmer said. As far as the two major candidates are concerned, community programs and aid would be considerably cut by Reagan, Brimmer said. So would categorical and block grants which are meaningful to minorities, he said. Brimmer, who sees the decade of the 1980 s as one of Two blacks > * announce for council seat Page 1 slow and uneven economic growth, divides the country as far as economic potential into winners and losers. The industrial northeast where the steel industries are will be decided losers, he said. The sou til east and west will be winners. “We’re only now beginning to realize that 1973 ended the post World War II period and started a new era. It was that year that OPEC raised petroleum prices four-fold and changed the economy throughout the world. “We’re still reaping the bitter harvest from that enormous increase in oil prices. That echo will extend into the 1980 s.” Brimmer said the coming decade will mean slower growth, higher prices and a White House recently. During the event the President signed an Executive Order which formalizes a program to increase participation by historically black colleges and universities in federally-sponsored programs.

Areas of the country where electronics, communication equipment and new chemicals proliferate will be die “winners” of the new decade. Petroleum rich Texas and Oklahoma and the “silicone valley” of California will see prosperous times. But the policy prescription of President Carter will not be to simply aid the winner, but the loser as well, Brimmer said. “We have to ask ourselves to what extent our tax money should be used to underwrite losses.” Brimmer feels that Chrysler should have been allowed to declare bankruptcy. “The Chrysler decision was not good.
