Letter: Bush not making any real sacrifices

Friday, Aug. 26, 2005 | 9:08 a.m.

As most of us suffer through this lousy economy -- struggling to put gas in the car, juggling bills and fretting over rising housing costs -- first lady Laura Bush gloats over her new chef, then she and her husband take a monthlong vacation.
