LETTER TO MY CONGRESSMAN

 
LETTER TO MY CONGRESSMEN--VA. REP. FRANK WOLF, 10^{th District}

"It is precisely because the stakes are so I high that I believe the debt limit vote can serve as a trigger to force congressional action" –

THESE ARE YOUR WORDS STATING THAT: 

You are falling in with the denial bent political propagandists who are brazenly, obdurately keeping their finger on (yes, you said)"trigger" of the gun which rests against our very future, and that of the global economy as a whole.

The facts are undeniable, the historical lessons salient, the polling of ALL Americans convincing, but you and yours (and the "pledge" makers in your ranks) insist on playing this circus game which is ridiculously politically oriented, or insidiously geared to orchestrate the demise of our known way of life. It is quite possibly both. 

If so, shame on you all. 

Our President pointed out that the new "dirty word" stigma attached to compromise in your ranks offends the American people. Count me as among them. I am deeply offended by this smoke-and-mirror double-talk "spending-spree" CRAP we repeatedly hear. 

YOU KNOW THE TRUTH. HAVE THE GUTS TO PUT THE CITIZENS WHOM YOU REPRESENT FIRST AND DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. 

This episode is unbecoming, deplorable, and the rhetoric is abhorrent. Grow up and put away childish things. Not only we, but the whole world is watching. 

Do humanity justice and accept the fact that our fiscal health will require cuts, caps and NEW REVENUE fairly culled from ALL able to afford the measure. 

Mere cuts will not accomplish this, and you know it. 

Really Steamed~
