Once again Mr. Schuck tries to distract attention from the fact that
we were talking about the deficit, not the debt.  Mr. Schuck goes back
and forth, always making the same claims, always unsupported by any
facts.  He is apparantly interested in only one thing, making the
government look bad, and so mere facts will have little effect on his
thinking.  But it is clear who he is actually making look bad by this
transparant strategy.
