Speaker. in these first 100 days we have seen emerge a disturbing pattern of disparity between what this administration says and what this administration does. giving rise to what columnist David Broder has called the trust deficit. There is almost a comic effect to the way President Clinton and his spokesmen feign their innocence as they break promises and change policy positions. What middleclass tax cuts? What porkbarrel spending? What Haitian refugees? Apart from the broken promises. the White House has an Orwellian understanding of the English language. Tax increases on Social Security are spending cuts. higher taxes are contributions. and porkbarrel spending is investment.
