Open Letter to Mark Udall

On July 6 I received an e-mail from Senator Mark Udall (D-CO) that encouraged me to sign his letter to the Congress demonstrating support for a solution to this debt limit problem that would include a combination of spending cuts and increased tax rates.   I responded with the following:

Senator Udall:

 

I just completed reading your letter to the Congress.  If this weren't such a tragic set of circumstances I would find the letter amusing.  The use of the President in the same title as Fiscal Responsibility has proven to be oxymoronic.  There is no way in God's green earth that I would sign a letter like that because there is a rule of economics that you are not able to legislate.  If you increase taxes in a recession those in higher brackets than mine will pay a little extra in tax and their lifestyles won't be interrupted significantly at all.  On the other hand, others will pay for this increase in taxes with their jobs.  This is insane. 

 

President Obama with your assistance foisted an ill-advised stimulus on us in 2009 followed by a 24% increase in the budgets of many federal agencies.   He then forced Obamacare on the American public which in the end will cost more than a trillion dollars as well as $500 billion to Medicare.   This is what must be cut, spending.  If you want to increase revenues you decrease tax rates and rely upon increased economic growth to feed the treasury.  You have to look beyond your nose and abandon your ridiculous and nonsensical ways.  

 

No I won't sign your letter.   No I won't encourage anyone to find a bipartisan solution if that solution means any increase in taxation.  If you want a bipartisan solution, sign on to the Ryan plan and begin to live within your means.  Repeal Obamacare and then begin to eliminate programs, agencies and whole departments that are only a burden to the taxpayer and contribute nothing.  Cut the federal payroll.  Eliminate the wasteful spending of this White House and cut the crap in Washington.

 

Your Constituent
