LETTERS, from page 11B
Martin's Where I Stand,
March 23, expressing his
views, which are summa-
rized in his second para-
graph, "Conservative elec-
tion victories last fall
will make the history books,
sure, but they continue an
ideologically driven agenda
of insanity we've seen for 30
years." That's since 1981
when Ronald Reagan took
office. Retired teacher Martin
twists history for 53 column
inches to demean and blame
conservatives.

Nor did they object to a
letter last year from another
retired teacher, Saivatore
Catalano's, which left an B1-
year-old lady responding,
"according to him my life is
fueledby 'greed, bigotry,
hate, literalism, denial, nega-
tivism, hypocrisy, authori-
tarianism, indoctrination
and the big lie.'" Those who
pretend to have lofty princi-
ples should act on principles,
and set aside their own bias.

Sanity, courage
The government has
promises to keep, The execu-
tive branch borrows so it can
cover the cost of those
promises, but Congress sets
the limits. Borrowing reached
its current limit weeks ago,
and the government will
start breaking promises at
the beginning of August if the
limit is not raised.
Fiscal conservatives, es:
pecially Republicans, are
using this moment as an
opportunity to shrink the
size of budgetary promises.
Congressional Democrats
and the president are giving
ground. Budget reforms of $2
- 4 trillion are on the table,
and the Democrats are will-
ing to give a 4 to 1 ratio of
spending cuts versus revenue
increases.
Astonishingly, some leaders
advocate that the nation
default. They say there is
"plenty of money," or that we
"just have to prioritize" who
we refuse to pay. Once upon a
time, we only heard this kind
of magical thinking from free
spending liberals. Fiscal con-
servatives would retort,
"there is no such thing as a
free lunch," and "we have to
be practical."
Is intentional default the
new voice of fiscal responsibil-
ity? No. It is empty symbolism
and intransigence crushing
an opportunity for substantial
reform. Congressional fear of
responsibility is now so severe
that some would give the
president all but complete
authority to borrow.
The anti-tax tea party spirit
is shaking things up. But
if the country defaults, the
tea party is a dead letter.
Their leaders will have
proven themselves fools.
No one trusts you if you
intentionally break your
promises, and the solidity of
the U.S. government's finan-
cial promises is the backbone
of today's economic world.
Call, fax or email our repre-
sentatives. Tell them to make
the good deal, or else pass the
debt limit now and restart
the budget fight the next day.
If responsible leaders can
point to support from places
like Plumas County, we
might provoke a wave of
sanity -- perhaps even
courage -- in Washington.
