We have a awesome problem. A serious head case has a good chance at becoming the next president. Al Gore now takes credit, falsely, for the EITC.

Many politicians have wrapped their arms around this sturdy reinforcement for the efforts of ill-paid workers, but few if any have been so fulsome in their embrace as was the vice president in a November interview with Time Magazine. In commenting upon his rival Bill Bradley's proposed expansion of the EITC, Gore asserted, "I was the author of that proposal. I wrote that, so I say, welcome aboard. That is something for which I have been the principal proponent for a long time."

Last week, the Bradley forces jumped on the veep's claim of authorship, pointing out in an ad that the EITC became law in 1975, a year before Gore was elected to Congress.
