Inflation is an obvious consequence of this economy as the prices of products and services increase to meet the profit demands by the "haves and have mores." Products like homes and housing continue to rise leaving more consumers out of the market. The costs of services like healthcare insurance continue to rise to keep up with the "profit demands" by those who profiteer unconscionably off the ill health of others. Incomes of the middle class consumer lag far behind diminishing their standard of living. They feel squeezed by ever-increasing prices and more debt. The market is only growing top heavy with the real possibility of it collapsing like the twin towers. America is moving in the wrong direction of being controlled by one party somewhat like the Republic of China. Richard Altig Talent Democratic Watergate in the making? What! Another Watergate in the making? Sandy Berger, National Security Advisor in the Clinton administration, illegally removed highly sensitive "above" top secret documents from the National Archives. Sandy stuffed these secret documents in his trousers, yet claims done so "inadvertently," really? What sane person can believe this outrageous explanation? To compound matters he cannot locate some of these documents, and he was Clinton's National Security advisor! More Clintonian pie-in-sky excuses? If Sandy had been a Republican can you picture the outrage forthcoming from the Democrats! Since Sandy is a loyal Democrat their response is, "It's no big deal!" It challenges our credulity that concealing top secret documents pertaining to Al Queda is no big deal. One can surmise this was an attempt to sanitize Clinton's miss-handling vis-�-vis pre 9-11 terrorist activity. Chuck Colson went to jail for much less, will Sandy "walk" because he is a Democrat? We all know Democrats are held to a lower standard than Republicans. Frightening to learn that Sandy was under consideration for a position in a possible Kerry administration. Curious isn't it, Wednesday's Ashland Tidings ran this expose page one, Oregonian page nine, and MT did not run it. Oversight perhaps? Carl J.
