Letter to Representative Shuler's office on budget

When I look at the bill passed late last year that extended the Bush tax cuts, and then I look at the bill passed recently to spend more money on unnecessary and counter-productive wars and to continue the bloated military budget.... well, all this talk about a BUDGET CRISIS strikes me as a sick and silly joke.

If you were serious about the deficit, you would not cut the US Government's income by reducing taxes.

You would further get real about cutting the budget by cutting the PENTAGON budget.

Until you do those things, you are not serious at all about the doing something about the deficit.

You are like a silly women who is worried about the child who steals a quarter from her purse to by candy and claiming that will make her go broke, while her husband writes out $1000 checks every day to cover his gambling debts.
