The Star Tribune published my letter, print edition.

Fool me twice ...

Given that President Bush didn't level with us about the cost of the Iraq war, why should we trust him about the cost of his Social Security scheme?

Eric Jaffa

(In the version I sent, I just called him "Bush." I'm not sure that a man who won in 2000 by disenfranchising blacks in Florida and won in 2004 by disenfranchising blacks in Ohio deserves a name like "President Bush.")

1. Congrats!!

Also enjoyed the letter printed beneath yours..

President Bush is asking for another $80 billion to pay for the war in Iraq. Perhaps we need another tax cut to pay for it.
