Okay -- here's the next Kerry ad -- opens with Dick Cheney headshot and the numerous quotes attributed to him by Paul O'Neill saying deficits don't matter and really aren't anything to worry about. Then we move to the graphic that shows quite clearly our deficit timeline (thanks RG) over the past 20 years. Next move to Alan Greenspan talking (R.R.) about trimming Social Security benefits as the best way to deal with the deficit and the looming economic crisis it will bring.

I'm having trouble deciding on the closing scene -- either a sea of cubicles, filled with 40- and 50- something worker drones - or we show a sea of older people opening up what are obviously Social Security checks in the amount of $0.00 - I'm envisioning the equivalent of the scene in Gone with the Wind: Scarlett O'Hara looking for Dr. Meade at the Atlanta railroad station when Melanie's about to have her baby. Start small and then pan out slowly until the viewer realizes the enormity of the situation. Go ahead - use it. No job is too big, no fee is too big, as my friend Dr. Peter Venkman would say
