  Ted,

  You know it always amazes me how clever the doublespeak artists of 
the Republican Party are when they are shafting the public, especially 
when the object is a colossal theft of public resources.  Take your ode 
to Republican reasonableness with regard to the budget negotiations, for
instance.  What a fantastic lie you tell.

  When it comes to paying off debts, the first order of business is to
discuss whose debt is being paid off.  Right?  You managed to skip that
part and just assumed that those who are the most able American families
who have robbed the United States blind during the past Republican era,
should get another tax gift for their trouble, while those who are the
least able should pay off the sea of red ink left behind. 

  Your fantastic story telling won't wash.  Take it to the garbage dump.
