I think you may be on to something here.  In fact, you need to notify
President-elect Clinton immediately, that you have found a way for him to keep all
his promises.  He can raise taxes so high it'll make your ears bleed, and, by 
including a line in the tax bill that says "this is a middle class tax cut", voila!, 
it's a middle class tax cut.  Is the deficit a problem?  No problem!.  Simply pass 
the budget with a line that says "the deficit incurred by this budget is zero" and 
voila!, the deficit is a thing of the past.  The possibilities are endless.  Is
affordable health care a problem?  Why bother with programs and regulations?  Just
pass a bill that says "everybody has access to affordable health care".  We could
eliminate poverty, hunger, racial injustice. If we were only willing to believe that
a bill is what it says and not what it does, what a wonderful world it would be.
