Everyone talks about the budget, but no one does anything about it, to borrow a construct. As citizens of a country with a devastating budgetary crisis, I think we each need to offer Congress suggestions on saving money. Since it is clear that a majority of us don't want our taxes raised, it behooves us to demand that the governmentspend less money. We need to develop or adopt a mentality that it is irresponsible to spend money we do not have and demand that our government practice it.
Each of us needs to target our own Senators and Congressional Representatives with letters or emails whenever we see that they are spending our money like it is theirs. My own Senators, Mitch McConnell and Jim Bunning, are among the worst and most hypocritical offenders. Although I have communicated with them frequently of the past several years, I resolve to limit my communications with them to ways they should help save our money. I will post my letters to them on this blog when I send them. My goal will be to send at least three communications per week.
Please join me.
