Dear Mr. Kuhl,
I read today that President Bush is going to ask Congress for up to $120 Billion in additional funds to support various war efforts.
$70 Billion for the war in Iraq. Why? Because the military says they are spending the money too fast. Well I am sorry to hear that but unfortunately you voted last night to take money away from the American citizens by cutting the budget on Educational and Medicare funds.
We heard Monday night that the President wants to curb federal spending and help America deal with skyrocketing health care costs. It is now two days later and we are seeing the exact opposite from this Administration.
It is time to say NO to the extra money this Administration is asking for to fight a war in a country we already accomplished our mission or so we were told.
We need to start focusing on us as a country then on everyone else's problems. We have problems. I watch my two oldest children in school try to learn Math in a system that isn't teaching them how to innovate themselves into learning but rather memorizing the basic facts to pass a state mandated test that "No Child Left Behind" is demanding. The President talks about America's children needing to be innovators to push America to lead the world. Well I am sorry to say but "No Child Left Behind" is hindering this effort.
We need a educational overhaul. We need a health care system overhaul. These two systems alone are failing this country. The amount of spending this Administration is doing will make us fall like the USSR fell. We are going to go broke. And it's so sad too because when President Clinton left office we had a surplus now I can't even figure out the deficit on the very laptop I am writing this letter to you today. Record deficit Mr. Kuhl.
It's time to say NO to the spending and time to start looking inward to the citizens.
Sincerely,Ralph Whitbeck
