Look fascist, Mondale lost the election largely because he was
naive enough to suggest that it will require personal sacrifice 
to reduce/eliminate the deficit. Reagan insists that by acting
"patriotically" that is, spend, spend, spend and be nicer to
poor, abused corporate America everyone can ride off in the
sunset and our lives will have a nifty cinematic ending.

The guy has used increased deficits to fuel all his rose-colored
pseudo-statistics. This way, history will (Reagan thinks) portray
him as a great leader, while he blithely hands future generations
our credit card receipts.

He is a master at manipulating public opinion (not mine, thank God)
and diverting attention from his own BULLSHIT policies, pinning
blame on everyone who opposes him.

How can you raise defense expenditures, raise social security
(he is already reneging on this one), and then attempt to
lower the deficit by slashing social programs? Ronald, it won't work.
The only way to reduce the deficit (which is now about $8,000 per
American) is to undergo personal sacrifice and REDUCE BLOATED
DEFENSE SPENDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
one more time class...

REDUCE BLOATED DEFENSE SPENDING!!!!!!!!
 
The man is full of shit, as history will surely attest to.

The preceding opinions are, in all likelihood, those of Todd Jones.
However, these opinions will, in all certainty, bear scant resemblance 
to the opinions of SCI Systems, Inc., Mr. Jones' employer.
