Issue 181
"In many countries it is now possible to turn on the television and view
government at work. Watching these proceedings can help people understand the
issues that affect their lives. The more kinds of government proceedings—
trials, debates, meetings, etc—that are televised, the more society will
benefit."

Argument 224
The following appeared as a letter to the editor of a national newspaper.
"Your recent article on corporate downsizing* in the United States is
misleading. The article gives the mistaken impression that many competent
workers who lost jobs as a result of downsizing face serious economic hardship,
often for years, before finding other suitable employment. But this
impression is contradicted by a recent report on the United States economy,
which found that since 1992 far more jobs have been created than have been
eliminated. The report also demonstrates that many of those who lost their jobs
have found new employment. Two-thirds of the newly created jobs have been in
industries that tend to pay above-average wages, and the vast majority of these
jobs are full-time."
*Downsizing is the process in which corporations deliberately reduce the
number of their employees.
