Senator Chambliss,
It is with extreme disappointment that I learn of your sponsorship of a Senate bill that will essentially do nothing to address the crisis we are currently in. This nation cannot afford to continue on with business as usual. The survival of our country depends on taking action now, lest we descend in to the abyss of insolvency.
Our nation has accumulated more debt in the last two years than it did in the first two centuries of its existence. This trend must be stopped NOW! Vacant promises of budget cuts in future years that will never materialize are an insult to the American people. At our current rate of spending, we are facing a debt of $30 trillion by the end of this decade. Your insulting offer to reduce that amount to $26 trillion is a lose-lose situation. 'Lose' for the American people who will be saddled with this debt. And 'lose' for you and all of your Republican colleagues in the next two election cycles.
The only prudent course of action at this point is to STOP SPENDING NOW! That is something that every American family understands. Why does this most basic economic principle baffle you? In the last election, you pretended to be a conservative. How long will we have to wait before you being acting like one?
I implore you to address the current crisis first. Let's cut the deficit now rather than lie about cutting it ten years down the road.
Sincerely,
H
Thanks again!!
