Stop Digging

From April 17, 2009:

To Congress,

There is an old saying: when you dig yourself into a hole, the first thing you do is stop digging. STOP DIGGING! No nation has ever spent its way out of a recession. Nothing Franklin Roosevelt did shortened or ended the Great Depression. World War II ended the depression. Before we started gearing up for the war, unemployment was near 20%. Right now, unemployment is 8.5% and rising.

Spending money that we do not have will only cause inflation. We have a big problem and fiscal irresponsibility will only make it bigger. This is not the time to be a Democrat or Republican. It is the time to be an American and work together to strengthen our economy. We can, and should, debate ideologies at a later date.

Signed,
The Electorate
