Dear Senator:
Last year you explained that deficit spending is a good thing when the economy is stalled. Well, of course, everyone knows that the ugly practice stirs up business. FDR taught us how to prime the pump. But Bob, that's no solution. The price in interest and devalued currency take a toll on the future health of the national economy and each individual's financial situation.
Yesterday - a day that will live in infamy - you and the other Utah representatives voted to increase the national debt ceiling cap to $9.62 trillion. You, a vice chairman of the Joint Economic Committee, said, "The debt needs to be put into perspective. In real dollar terms, the debt is enormous, but it is a manageable portion of the nation's overall economic production, or gross national product."
The interest you refer to must be paid on money which doesn't exist as currency - it is credit. Your new debt ceiling of $9 trillion is more than 10 times larger than the total number of dollars in circulation.
Your numbers racket might bring you glory now, but wait for the history books.
On the subject of our detention center at Guantanamo Bay, you visited Gitmo for five hours and came away with an approving opinion in opposition to the Red Cross, Amnesty International, the UN Commission on Human Rights, and the British government.
Bob Bennett, won't you please come home?
Thoughts While Jaywalking
* Saddam's trial is getting interestinger and interestinger. Witnesses claim to know at least 23 of the madman, murderer's victims to be alive and well, walking the streets of Baghdad.
* Wal-Mart sales are down for the month of May. The stock market has the shakes. Housing prices are in flux. This must be an election year.
* The Bushites talk about imposing sanctions on Iran. Have they no shame? Learn about the devastation of sanctions on innocoent Iraqis under Presidents Bush, Clinton and Bush. Your heart won't let you support another genocidal blockade of food and medicine.
* Uncle Sam is sending $5 million in relief aid for victims of the 6.3 quake in Indonesia. Much more is on the way from private sources and churches.
