Letter: There will be squealing but budget cuts are essential

Feb 4, 2025

Is there a single person out there that doesn’t believe our government doesn’t have FAT that can be trimmed from the budget?

Decades of irresponsible spending have slashed the value of our dollar.

That devaluation causes our prices to skyrocket, and we ignore that it will be even worse for our children if we continue to just “kick the can down the road”.

Our National Debt is in excess of $36 TRILLION.

That number is hard to get your head around but it’s about $120,000 for EVERY man, woman and child in our country.

We aren’t even paying the interest that is accruing, much less reducing the actual amount.

The ramifications are higher prices, and the possibility of our dollar no longer being used as the standard worldwide trading commodity in favor of a more stable economy, like China!

As AMERICANS, we need to stand united & support this necessary attempt to Make America Great Again.

Be prepared for the naysayers and mindful that there are those that benefit from spreading lies and creating situations that have no merit.

Be prepared for the “squealing of pigs” that are kicked away from their taxpayer funded troughs.

We ALL need to support these budget cutting measures to ensure our children’s chance for the American Dream.
