Editor,
Did you know, that as soon as the government got back up and running, the government sent over a million dollars to Pakistan? I cannot believe we are willing to take money away from the poor in the United States such as the reduction in food stamps, but we have enough to send to another country. Well, people, that is our great government for you. We are in debt up to our ears and then some, but we cannot let anyone know how unstable our government is at this moment. It is too bad the shutdown did not last longer, because had we defaulted, the government would not have had the money to give to Pakistan.
We borrow money from the Federal Reserve to keep the Federal Government running and they in turn put us further in debt by giving money to someone who will never be able to pay it back. If you think the reduction in food stamps is the only cut back the government is going to do, well, you are in for a rude awakening. I know the government is going out of its way to bring more hardship to the people of the USA. They want to take our freedom of choice away; proof: the medical insurance they are shoving down our throats. Most people are living paycheck to paycheck these days and the government will fine you if you cannot afford the $400 monthly premiums. I guess we will have to decide which bills not to pay or which days I will go without food, just to please the government, aka Obama.
I want everyone to think about our economy, the children living in poverty and our freedom of choice. The longer we go without voicing our opinion, the more the government will take from each and every person living in the USA. Watch and listen.
