This is the letter that I will be sending to Congressman Al Green and the two senators.
Dear Congressman Green:
There are three actions that President Biden and the Congress can do to balance the budget that will require sacrifice.
1) Impose the income tax rates on rich people and major corporations like we did when Ike was president. I was a child in those days who can remember prosperous times.
In the 1960s, Senator Barry Goldwater and William F. Buckley were my heroes. A balanced budget was an integral item in their message. The idea sounds better than it did way back when.
The Soviet Union closed its doors on December 26, 1991. You would not know that by looking at the Pentagon budget which equal to the next 9 countries in line.
2) We have 750 military bases overseas. Keep 100 and close the rest.
A nuclear war between India and Pakistan will induce nuclear winter.
3) We do not need a 5,500 nuclear weapons. Keep 1,000 warheads for deterrence and wandering asteroids. Decommission the rest.
Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
Ed O´Rourke
