    As a young male, I do want to point out that one of the things that has turned me off about Hillary has been her embellishments of her visit to Bosnia, an obvious attempt to make her record look better.

    Frost ignores one basic trend that occurred during the tax suspension: prices at first did fall, but that's because prices went down for the rest of the nation as well!
