That's the problem - people don't understand what the press is for. What you're describing is entertainment or pop culture "reporting" like Access Hollywood, except your program would be called Access DC. The press's job is to investigate and discover the truth behind what the Government says. For example, Watergate. This is the basis of the great American journalism "scoop". Newspapers, for example, aren't just supposed to say, "The Whitehouse says Iraq sucks." They're supposed to investigate why the Whitehouse is saying it, and what the reasons behind it might be, or why they're mistaken. > What's Britain in the 80's have to do with SS? Ms. Thatcher added private accounts to British pensions in the 80s and when you combine that with the indexing of benefits to prices rather than wages, Brit pensions are now in trouble. That is, Mr. Bush's proposal has already been tried in Britain and failed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:149795 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
