The following letter went to the editor this morning.  I was aroused after reading the morning addition of our paper.  Some of the stories kinda soured my milk, so to speak.

” I have read, with interest, the stories about the loss of job at CCAD, cuts in spending at national parks and some cuts of military spending.  Cuts at national parks were for things like waste management and trail maintenance.  Not picking up the trash on a regular basis will cause an influx of bears in the campgrounds and less trail maintenance will cause broken ankles, etc.

What I havent read anything about are stories about cuts in Congressional office expenses and staff, cuts in Congresstional salaries or cuts at the
White House.  Will there be such cuts.  I doubt it.  They will continue to enjoy the perks of office and will continue to slather us with indifference toward the common folks.”

I am not sure such a letter will be printed but perhaps.  Next will be a well-penned letter to my congressman and senator concerning the same subject.  Why do they get to be on top?
