The Republicans new "Pledge to America" promises the $3.8 trillion addition to the deficit and says nothing about serious budget cuts or governmental reforms that might remotely offset it. Surfing the Beltway talk shows last Sunday, you couldn t find one without a G.O.P. politician adamantly refusing to specify a single program he might cut at, say, the Department of Education (Pell grants?) or the National Institutes of Health (cancer research?). And that s just the small change. Everyone knows that tax cuts for the G.O.P. s wealthiest patrons must come out of Social Security and Medicare payments for everybody else.
