Deficit Disaster

I agree with Michael Ramirez’s editorial cartoon (Commentary, Feb. 5) proclaiming that this country’s growing deficit is obscene. The organization MoveOn submitted a 30-second commercial to be aired during the Super Bowl that addressed the deficit and its lasting effects on our children, who will ultimately carry the burden of deficit spending.

Ironically, CBS decided not to air this commercial, deeming it was too controversial. Rome is burning, my friends, while we rant and rave about the appearance of a nipple on commercial television.
