Are we better off?
Letter to the editor




Ronald Reagan, famously, asked us: "Are you better off today than you were four years ago?" The country responded. "No," they said. Today, it is time to ask the question again.

Should George W. Bush be elected this fall, he will have a mandate to continue on his course. We, as a nation, will be perceived by the world as having told him that we agree with him and his goals and the means he uses to achieve them. Is that what we want the world to think of us? Is that how we want to think of ourselves? Are we better off today than we were four years ago? No. No. No.
