HOLD ONTO YOUR POCKETBOOKS

THE ECONOMY has been working its way out of the doldrums for nearly a year, but did you ever hear that from the liberal and prejudiced media? No, you did not! They were especially careful that this information was not made public before the election.

I would like to remind all voters again that Bill Clinton is strictly a minority president-to-be. Yes sir, Clinton got only 43 percent of the popular vote. Another way of stating this fact is to say that 57 percent of the electorate repudiated and rejected Clinton flat out. Hallelujah!

Clinton will probably have a short but sweet honeymoon, but then what does a liberal Democrat do with a $4 trillion debt? How can Clinton even come close to a balanced budget? If you have somebody trying to run this country who raised taxes and fees 100 times, what can you expect?

There is a sign in Forest that went something like this: "Hold on to your pocketbook and send a big prayer to heaven." This says it best. R. KEITH WHITLEY BEDFORD
