My email to Mark Shields is in response to this column: http://www.creators.com/... in which Mark Shields calls for "shared sacrifice" and praises Simpson and Bowles recommendations in their initial report for the Catfood Commission. He went on to echo these sentiments in his Newshour spot with David Brooks. Crooks and Liars has the video and commentary: http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/...
Please see my comments below the fold. Thanks.
