Agree wholeheartedly.

When I was growing up, Taco Bell (aka Toxic Hell) had a popular commercial where every time a taco appeared, you’d hear a ringing bell, the corporate logo not far behind (auditory reinforcement).

Maybe we could come up with a modern equivalent for Dorquist: Every time the issue of the budget deficit is mentioned, we change the frame with an example of income and wealth inequality resulting from 10 years of Bush era tax cuts; how many families are now living in poverty; how many children are homeless; how many are now qualifying for subsidized lunches as per the lead story in today’s dead tree version of The NY Times.

Or many just a pic of Tiny Tim on his knees to a smirking Dorquist pleading “Thank you, sir. Can I have another?”

You’re too kind, but Gracias anyway…
