Fiscal cliff

December 3, 2012
The Times Observer

Dear editor:

Isn't amamzing that the clowns that got us into this mess are going to save us.Almost like letting the fox set up the security system to protect the chicken coop. Their approach is to increase taxes on anyone that works so obama will have more money to spend supporting his mother-in -law, his aunt, uncle, and the four Chinese hillary imported.

Then they want to cut entitlement programs(all payed for by tax payers). However not one word has been mentioned about cutting any programs that don't benefit us. If they really want to clean up this mess they should start by discontinuing all foreign aid for a savings of approx. 50 billion a year. Having done this they can get rid of 50 percent of the people working for the State Depertment doing nothing but wasting the money we now pour into foreign countries.

The next step to immediatly get completely out of Iraq and Afghanastan. Quit the UN and NATO as we pay the lion's share of the costs and get absolutely no benefits.

Discontinue retirement and health care for Congress and give them what the average wage earner gets, which is a 401k and medical coverage that they in most instances have to pay for.

But we all know this will never happen. They will come up with a smoke and mirror scheme that will save us gazillions but not bear any fruit until 2025 and the stupid taxpayers will buy into it and think how happy we are that our government is looking out for us.
