Understatement of the Week
This is a New York Times editorial on Sen. Daschle's testimony yesterday:
He gave no indication of how to pay for all this or how to rein in the escalating costs of entitlement programs, and he was not asked such probing questions by a committee that seems certain to recommend his confirmation.
At a time of such euphoria, how can anyone be so crass as to bring up the subject of money?
Whatever happened to taxes on the rich and $2,500 per household of efficiencies from electronic medical records and the like?
