...Neither Borrower Nor Lender Be I enjoyed Michael Kinsley's essay [Dec. 15]. We have borrowed, and not from fellow Americans but from China, Japan and other countries. We may have more clout in the world militarily but do others have more clout economically? I have read that what really brought the U.S. out of the Great Depression was World War II. Could it be that what brought the U.S. out of the Depression of the 1930s was the savings and the controlled spending of the people - along with the borrowing that took place during the war?

...Neither Borrower nor Lender Be As a person interested in reality, I much appreciated Michael Kinsley's Essay on the government stimulus package [Dec. 15]. The media regularly say the "taxpayer has been hit again." I don't recall my taxes being affected. Rather, we have borrowed again, and not from fellow Americans - but from China, Japan and other countries. Have we come to the point that we may have more clout in the world militarily but others have more clout economically? Bill Brouwers, Middlebury, Indiana...

...Obama's Red Dawn Re Michael Kinsley's essay, "That Wealth Spreader," it is clear that John McCain's campaign has fallen back on an old, tired McCarthyist anthem and it is ugly [Nov. 10]. With much of the world and many staunch conservatives all endorsing Obama, how do they call him a socialist with a straight face? It shows how little faith they have in the strength of their own ideals and the credibility of their own party after eight years of Bush. This smacks of desperation and deceit. Fred Grygiel, Sea Girt...
...Kinsley notes that Obama will cut taxes for those earning less than $250,000, which represents the bulk of the middle class, while raising taxes on the top 1% of wealth earners who have a disproportionate hoarding of America's wealth. Who are McCain and Palin speaking for, if not for this plutocratic top 1%? Obama is not a "socialist" just because he believes that the middle class has a right to exist and prosper. In my country, such a political understanding is hardly radical. It's just a reflection of what just and fair societies in this modern world...
