Carter's election year spending blueprint—amounting to $2,786.43 for every American—calls for reducing the federal deficit to a seven-year low. Aside from increases in spending for defense, energy, a new youth employment program and increased housing subsidies for the poor, proposes few new programs. Carter termed the budget "prudent and responsible." Charles Schultze, chairman of his Council of Economic Advisers, called it "very tough." Treasury Secretary G. William Miller described it to reporters as "austere." It proposes no tax cuts for the American people or for business during the coming year. Othir Federal Operations Schultze told reporters that, under current conditions, such cuts would risk stimulating inflation and entrenching it so deeply in the economy it would take "years and years and years to drag it out."
