My Dear Wormwood,
You say that the economic crisis of late has consumed the attention of the young country’s leaders, and you succeeded in convincing your Patient to spend even more by foisting the debt onto the next generation.
You and your fellow Tempters did well in leading your Patients to act quickly and without reflection. Now they’ve become accustomed to spending hundreds of billions of dollars in one bill, and even easier to hide our projects.
It is amusing to imagine the troubles this debt will cause future Patients. With this country’s foolish rejection of castes and ethnic superiority we’ve finally revived that entertaining custom of generational curses.
It was a brilliant scheme for each of you Tempters to stoke that lovely trait of greed so broad and wide that each Patient could blame someone else for the economic collapse. Even better, each demands that they have the right to take more -- especially from those that your fellow Tempters could not entice. I cannot stop chuckling at this. Spread the pain around, I always say.

Almost as well done as C. S. Lewis himself! ;-)
The abortion and contraceptives part of the stimulus bill was to stop minorities from having too many children.This
cadaver should have been hit with this over and over again!
Has Archbishop Niederauer met with the princess yet???
It is becoming obvious that he will have to make some sort of public statement.
I hope you are right.
We DO have the right to contact the Bishop respectfully with our concerns. ;-)
(She continues to scandalize.)
Yes, the left, democrats, and their voters,
all do Screwtape’s work. Some knowingly, most unknowingly.
Pelosi is of the former variety, there is no doubt.
Some excellent points, but clunky writing.
Do you know what the one good thing about Nancy Pelosi is?
She’s 68 years old.
Well, it certainly doesn’t match the vocabulary and genius of Lewis. However, it was probably done fairly quickly and really is not all that bad. ;-)
confirms serious suspicions I’ve had about Congressional dealings...
That’s called DISCERNMENT. It’s a gift of the Holy Spirit. ;-))
(being slightly humorous and fairly serious)
I didn’t say it was bad, and I can understand why a writer would get bored with straight explication and try something different.
No, $355 million for STD prevention would cover anything Planned Parenthood does, I imagine. I consider all of it semantics ONLY—wait until you see what federal regulators do with “mere words”....
Well done Ms. Wright! Brilliant!
The kind of people who have abortions are irresponsible, lazy parasites who have no business reproducing anyway.
Evolution favors those who pass their genes to their offspring, and for this reason alone pro-lifers are light-years ahead on the evolutionary scale.
