 Senator or Representative _____________,

 

  Let me start by saying, I hope this letter finds you and yours in good health. Now down to business.

 

  I have suggestions for cutting into the Debt and Reducing spending that would be fair to everyone, even though it would cause minor inconvenience to everyone. Actually it's Two suggestions.

 

 Suggestion #1. It would be eminently possible for Congress to make a 5% funding cut to every program and bureaucracy in the Federal Government, including to the programs that have automatic funding built into them.  I actually do mean every single program that Congress funds without exception, not just the discretionary spending programs. The total money saved would  reduce the necessary borrowing, and would show the WMF we are doing something positive to reduce the debt giving us some breathing room to correct the problems.

 

 Suggestion#2. I believe that Congress should totally remove ALL the restrictions that were put in place during the Jimmy Carter Administration on the Domestic Production and Exploration for Oil, and the closing of our most efficient refineries, to facilitate the deal with the Mid-Eastern Nations to buy our debt in return for our almost exclusively buying their oil. If the USA would fully utilize out natural resources and explore our untapped resources to the maximum output, and earmarking all the Oil, Natural Gas,and Coal for Domestic Use only until every need of ours is taken care of first. We could produce the energy, and all the other attendant things that we make from those resources cheaply enough to make the job market explode with openings. It would even bring back the Industrial Base we have lost over the last three or four decades.

  With maximum output of our resources it is estimated that we could drop the price of a barrel of oil to around $35.00, and we could put a surcharge of $2.00 a barrel contained in that figure on the oil companies. Gasoline would drop to about $1.10 a gallon, with attendant drops in consumer goods. Congress could then put a surcharge on Gas of $1.10 a gallon and use that money specifically to pay off the debt. I believe the American Public would welcome a price of $2.20 a gallon at this point in time. The current estimates of gasoline usage in America is over a trillion gallons a year, so do the math. We could with those surcharges, and the savings in imported oil and the attendant costs could be debt free in around six years. The added benefit would be to choke off the funding that oil gives to the terrorists who are attacking us. It would also rejuvenate America overnight. After the debt is paid off, the collected surcharge money could be used on any number of domestic problems like repaying the government's IOUs to Social Security and the shortfall in Medicare etc. The known domestic reserves are far greater than the 2% of the worlds supply as was recently stated by the President. That figure is only what we have produced so far, not what remains. The last survey by the USGS shows that we have about 50% of the worlds oil resources in the Continental United States or close offshore on the Continental Shelf within our Territorial limits and in shallow waters.

 

  Last question, Why Does Congress by Congressional restrictions, keep us in the suppressed economy and dependent on Foreign Oil resources when we do not have to be? Something is terribly wrong there. By the way over the last three decades the highest impact that humans have on the climate change has been disregarded. The continuous cutting of the Rain Forrest in South America and the buffer it provided to prevent the changing weather patterns, has been ignored and it outstrips all other contributions to that change by a factor of 25 times more Damaging than everything else combined. think about it. El Nino and El Nina originated and have been increasing exponentially since the Rain Forrest has been victim to the slash and burn mentality of the South American Beef Industry.

 

 I ask you to Please respond, with Specific Answers, to my Specific Suggestions, and would not consider the rhetoric from a form letter adequate response to them.
