> > Several people have told me this is the AFL-CIO's line too - you can't say there's no crisis or people won't believe you. Talk about the citational nature of truth, eh? I wonder, though, if this isn't just a bit of convenient cowardice that excuses the AFL-CIO and Nader from criticizing Clinton's stance: Big Bill sez there's a crisis, and who are we do doubt him?> The labor guys think that as long as Clinton refuses to change benefits, the program is home free. One could say they are thinking tactically and pragmatically, or one could say they are craven, depending on one's mind-reading skills. mbs
