Dear Republicans

[tiggymalvern]

I understand that you have deeply heartfelt beliefs on the best way to fix the economy. I understand that you are reluctant to compromise your ideals on this point.

If only we had some way to ask the people what they think on the matter. We could call it 'voting'. You could choose a spokesperson who would stand up on TV and talk a lot about the need to cut welfare spending. The Democrats could have a guy who talks about the need to support the poorest in society and taxing rich people more to pay for it. Then each citizen could choose between the two, and we could count up all their choices.

If we did all that, the whole crazily involved, ridiculously expensive voting thing, and your guy lost by some reasonable margin - if that happened, perhaps you could go along with the people and actually agree to some of Obama's plans for at least a whole month afterwards, maybe?

There should be two packages eventually - I was initially told one would arrive late, but then an update said it might get there on time. Have a great dinner tomorrow!
