"In the Nov. 22 front-page article 'Inertia weighs on the markets,' in a discussion of whether to extend the payroll tax cuts, we are informed, 'Many Republicans are resistant to measures that would widen the deficit further.' However, at last check, Republicans in both houses support renewing the George W. Bush tax cuts for 2013, deficits be damned.
"In the spirit of The Post's dedication to correcting errors quickly, the statement should be amended to read: 'Many Republicans are resistant to measures that would widen the deficit further and through which the benefits do not accrue primarily to the wealthy and large corporations.'" -- letter from Robert Hamberger, Vienna, VA, in today's Kaplan Daily, challenging another instance of the paper's practice of serving as an uncritical purveyor of Rethuglican talking points. Bravo, Mr. Hamberger!
