Hey, Sharon, I just totally don't buy that.  You say "the government".
WHICH government?  "latest findings"--sez WHO?  Where is this report,
anyway?  How come you aren't quoting it chapter and verse?  And, hey,
even then I wouldn't buy it--you would have to send me a copy signed by
David Stockman in the presence of a Notary Public, with a note attached
from Ronald Reagan swearing on a stack of Bibles that Martin Feldstein
personally accounted for every penny exchanged in the U.S. economy
when he checked this report.  I want EXACT FIGURES NOW.  PLEASE.  Think
of the danger to which you are exposing the Republic by citing reports
that are possibly bogus, besides being ideologically unsound even if
they happen to be true.
