Dear Editor:
Uncontrollable spending: Well the Democrats are at it again. First they got a stimulus package of $1.9 trillion. Now they want a $2.3 trillion infrastructure bill, and then they want a family relief bill at $1.8 trillion, and then you have the annual budget that they say will be about $1.5 trillion. If you add that up, it comes to roughly $7.5 trillion just this year alone.
If the last three items are approved, this will put the national debt at around $30 trillion or more with very little promise it will be paid back or the hopes that big corporations will put in their share. In my opinion, this will solely be put on the backs of the middle class as it always has in the past.
You can drive anywhere in any town and there are hiring signs all over. But why work when, if you know how to work the system, you can collect $400-plus a week plus what your state kicks in, and you don't have to work at all. This will go on until September - how disgusting.
Politicians might want to tread lightly because midterm elections are next year and this could turn the tables for the Senate and House.
In my opinion, voters will be watching if they care about America and if they care about their children and future generations we don't want to leave them bankrupt in my opinion, but that will happen anyway. Nobody has an answer to this uncontrollable spending, but politicians need to control spending in Washington instead of throwing money away on unnecessary spending that won't help this country.
In my opinion, they want to spend money to keep the voters happy and to retain their seats.
People in America must demand that there should be term limits in Washington, as they tried in the '80s or '90s because the longer a politician is in Washington the more money they can scrape in from lobbyists and other special-interest groups. They said in the years that they tried to pass term limits that it would bring inexperienced politicians to Washington. But what would be the difference then or now? From what I can see, they are inexperienced now with mass spending, with no end in sight.
