The government ought to agree
to make up the difference be-
tween what you spend and
what you get. A sort of Yuletide
Equalization Bureau. All & man
would have to do under my
plan would be keep a list of the
gifts he gives in one column, a
list of what he gets in another,
and if the second column is
shorter than the first, the gov-
ernment would make up the
difference. Of course, if the first
column was shorter, and you
got more than you gave, the
government should forget it

ta Claus would sure fail to see
a lot of people.
