Now that the "crisis" regarding he debt ceiling has been resolved, It is now time to turn our attention to the actual deficit and how can we resolve it.
Although I am not a resident of *******, I hope that you will take the time to read and consider the suggestion I am going to make. I have tried to communicate with my Senator, Marco Rubio, and have s...ent letter after letter to no avail. He does not have the time to either read, or respond to my suggestion. It is sad that I should feel compelled to go to others for something he should most certainly be concerned with.
The American people are not stupid. We realize there is a clear and present danger with the amount of money we owe to other entities. I cannot run my household in this manner and neither should the government.
I say that you, as our elected body, propose to one of the charitable organizations that is well respected by the American people, such as the Red Cross, the United Way, The Salvation Army or the like and ask them to help manage the debt issue. They do this by approaching the Fortune 500 companies, to start with to allow their employees to donate directly to the debt via the charitable organization.
I give you this example: Suppose there are 100,000,000 people that want to donate $2.50 a week . That would be, obviously, 250,000,000 a week (before the charity takes administration fees) for 52 weeks which would equal a whopping 1 billion, 750 million 1,750,000,000 sent to the PRINCIPAL of the debt each year. Now think that some citizen's, like me, would be willing to do more than the $2.50. It would make an enormous difference. Over 10 years, that would be an amazing contribution and sacrifice made by the American people.
Propose this to your colleagues. Make a difference, ignore partisan politics and seize this opportunity to help your country. I am 55-this will not affect me greatly, however, it will affect my 14 year old nephew Bradley
Take the bull by the horns. Just do it!
