I remember how...That last sentence is very telling. I remember how Ross Perot, in the 1992 presidential election, was brought to task for his meaningless statements. His programme was "I'm gonna put Washington to work" and how will you do that Mr. Perot? "I'm gonna clean out the barn and mend the fences" How will that be achieved? "By putting Washington to work"<br />So on ad nauseum.
