I think we would be wise to learn more before we make major decisions. That's why I appointed a Senate Democratic Privacy Task Force, chaired by Senator Pat Leahy. I'd like to hear your thoughts, too. Whatever we do, we need to make sure we do it right. A third issue that could come before Congress again this year is tax deductibility for advertising.

It should remain tax-deductible. And government should not discriminate on the basis of editorial content. After 30 years of running deficits, and trying to figure out how to get rid of deficits, you'd think that deciding what to do with a budget surplus would be easy. It is not. There is a huge difference of opinion on the Hill.
