Lamm, director of the University of Denver’s Center for Public Policy and Contemporary Issues, spoke on “The Brave New World of Public Policy.” He sees the economy of the 1990's as being one that cannot support the dreams of the 1960's. Mr. Lamm’s premise was that too much of the nation’s resources were going to the elderly who do not need help while too many children, the poorest population segment, lacked basic medical care and education. He said the elderly, make up 12 percent of the population and receive approximately 60 percent of all federal entitlements, a larger amount than they paid into the system. The New York Times had recently quoted Mr. Lamm as saying, “We have to spend more money on the next generation, and less money on the last generation.” He described the “brave new world” as being one “where infinite government demands have run smack into finite resources.”
