...Crimson reader, I applaud the new free subscription policy for a very selfish reason: I no longer have to pay for The Crimson. As the Reader Representative, I think it's a great way to increase readership. A newspaper should be accessible to as many people as possible.

The second message was "we didn't do enough." We should have done more to control spending, but the agreement will reduce federal entitlement spending nearly $500 billion over the next decade ($385 billion in the Medicare program alone). It has also set limits to annual appropriations that will reduce spending an additional $520 billion...
