Balance Budget Now

E-mail Print PDF

Dear Editor,   Balance Budget Now

It is obvious to most Americans that our Federal government needs to live within its income. After just 10 years one may qualify for social security. With improved health in America, living until 85 or 90 is not uncommon.  Increasing the retirement age is long past due.

Balancing the budget in 10 years is not the answer, balancing the budget now is. The way to improve ones credit rating is to stop spending more that you earn.  A secure nation is not a debtor to its enemies.

The time for a Balanced Budget Amendment is now.  Congress has been digging this financial hole for years. We do not need to study the problem until after the next election, we need to fix it now.

If your congressmen votes to spend more than he takes in by voting to raise the debt limit, vote him out next year.   His phone number is 202-224-3121 and warn him.

If I can be of further assistance, please contact me.

Yours Truly,
Floyd Coates, President
