The truth is in there, somewhere

As we enter the New Year, we suggest the best resolution of all would be to keep a level head, an open ear and a metaphorical red pen at the ready to scratch out the hyperbole in our political rhetoric, examples of which can be found in each of the following columns.

They represent the arguments at both ends of the debate over the tax-cut bill that just passed, and each overstates the case made — one by your elected congressman for Washington’s fourth district in the U. S. House of Representatives, the other by the liberal group Americans for Tax Fairness.

To be fair (and let’s all try that), each makes valid points, too.

The truth of the matter probably lies somewhere between the two extremes, but just in case you’re still wondering what all the argument was about, here’s more fodder for your thought process.

Happy New Year!
