Granted, the GOP tax cuts
already are boosting local economies and more help may be on the way. However,
should we not get serious about cutting spending and eliminating the national
debt, too? Fact; Congress has not managed to restrain spending. Did not Congress
recently forge a budget agreement that will increase both military and domestic
spending and create trillion-dollar deficits for years to come? When is it
unacceptable for lawmakers to look the other way on debt and deficits?
Researching various debt statistics/charts, I became knowledgeable enough to
recognize that we are borrowing, in the neighborhood of two million dollars
every minute, every day of the year. That’s what a trillion dollars is.
How do we counter this debt as a people? First, we begin by
insisting Congressional Representatives measure
the effectiveness of every government program. Second, scrap those programs,
projects and government grants that are not beneficial and relevant to the
majority of tax payers. Third, to even the playing field, initiate and/or raise
tariffs as necessary. Fourth, top-down welfare reform. Fifth, immigration
reform to include elimination of Chain Migration, Diversity Immigration Visa
program (lottery) and building the Wall to secure America's Southern border
from entry of illegal immigrants, drugs, criminals and terrorists. Lastly, pass
legislation to ensure future budgets are balanced.
