Letter to our State U.S. Congressman regarding our current financial economic crisis

[Jake Martinez]

What follows is a letter that I recently sent to our state U.S. Congressman regarding our current financial economic crisis because I am sick and tired of having our elected officials misinform us about where our country stands economically-You Decide:

"May 22, 2010

Dear Congressman Heinrich:

I find it extremely disturbing and demeaning when politicians continue to blatantly paint a rosy picture, as it relates to our financial economic status, especially when numerous other non-partisan financial experts, to include the CBO, constantly paint a dramatically different picture as outlined in my recent blog post.

It’s no wonder that approximately 80% of the American public continues to mistrust their government and why the overall approval rating for our Congress sits at or about 17%.

Question: Could it be true that the U.S. debt will hit $20 Trillion in the next ten years, which means that the size of the federal debt would increase by nearly 250 percent over 10 years, from $7.5 trillion to a whopping $20 trillion?

Additionally, it was recently revealed by the CBO that the Health Care Bill would exceed $1 Trillion dollars, which is quite different from what we were constantly told by politicians, to include the White House, before it was signed into law.

My recent blog post reveals the disturbing answer to this question-You Decide:

I am looking forward to hearing from you regarding this disturbing issue.

Thank you for your continued public service to this state and our country.
Semper Fi!

Note: I will let you know if and when I get a response from him.

Semper Fi!
