The Two Santas - An Idea

[NowISeetheLight]

I was introduced to this a couple days ago. I’d never heard of it, which surprised me because I consider myself well-read and educated. There was a discussion and I commented about Republicans not caring about the deficit when they ran everything, but now suddenly they’re all concerned. Someone mentioned The Two Santa Strategy. Turns out there is a lot online about it.

Knowing this now I have an idea. Remember when Ross Perot ran for President? He did those hour long infomercials with charts and graphs. They were great. Why not do something like that today with the debt. Put it all out there in black and white in simple form. While doing that they can also explain The Two Santa Strategy and how it’s hoodwinked America for 40 years. Information is power.

If you’ve never heard of The Two Santas Strategy, I’ve posted a YouTube video below and some articles links. I’m still amazed I’d never heard of this.

Except that they didn't work. Consider how many votes he got.
