As a response to your request for questions to be submitted for your interview with Rep. Connolly this Friday, I'd like to submit this to the Letters to the Editor. Perhaps you could form a question from this letter.
First, a couple of quotes: "A government that is big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take everything away."
"Government is not the solution to the problem, government is the problem."
In 1961, John F. Kennedy cut taxes in order to stimulate the economy. In 1982 Reagan did the same thing. Same with Bush in 2002. Cutting taxes puts money in peoples' pockets each and every week. By lowering taxes the economy gets stimulated by the citizens' decisions to purchase and save and invest more, as they have more money at their disposal. Government spending takes money from the tax payers and spends it on what it, the government, wants. It may save a teacher's job or get a road built, but in the long run government spending does not grow the economy.
The government has three options it must choose to spend any money. It must tax to get it, borrow to get it or print to get it. Which option sounds like a good idea to you? Since Obama's and the Democrats's plan A is not working, how about giving me some of my money back? I bet I and 300 million of my fellow citizens can stimulate the economy better.
