Your Opinion: Nothing but the facts

Dear Editor:

With nothing to do but yard work, winterizing faucets, hoses and reading a novel or newspaper, I turned on the TV one Saturday for a few minutes and learned in that short time nearly too much to comprehend, let alone to retain.

Facts were being thrown out to us viewers by this panel of politicians so we would be well-informed citizens, qualified to back the political party and politician that truly fits our wishes of honesty and integrity

These representatives for us of the less-educated masses of taxpayers would only accept wages at least 19 times above the average of their constituents.

In this short time I learned that if the Health Care Bill is repealed, 1.3 million jobs would be lost, another said 650,000, and yet another said 500,000 jobs would be out the window, and the fourth person explained how 1.3 million jobs would be created. (My final total is $3.6 million, but I'm yet undecided if they would be lost or gained.)

Another discussion dealt with the national debt limit. The panel agreed that raising the limit would be (a) disgraceful, or (b) necessary, or (c) disastrous, or (d) inevitable. (I agree.)

This same panel decided by their "facts" that consumers are spending more, less, or about the same as last year. (I agree.)

If by now you are wondering where I gathered my facts, it is from the same area the experts and politicians got theirs. (Out of the thin air.)
