Fiscal irresponsibility and massive new deficits are not the answer to our economic problems.

The budget proposed by the Obama Administration represents a 33% increase in Federal Spending--the largest spending increase since World War II--and a 1.75 TRILLION dollar deficit.

The budget proposed by the Obama Administration includes nearly TWO TRILLION dollars in tax hikes, much of which is directed at small business.

Barack Obama's budget means Bigger Government, and Bigger Government ALWAYS translates into less freedom.

For these reasons, I as your constituent urge you to oppose President Obama's $3.6 TRILLION Budget and instead support an airtight spending FREEZE.

Sincerely,

(your name)
(your city/state)

Today there will be protests across the country to send a message to Washington to STOP this crazy spending.

Now I anticipate some flack for this one, but these are just my opinions. Recently, I came across this article, which states that one in ten Ohioans now receives food stamps. If you care to know the specifics, read the article.

I realize gas prices are going up. Groceries are expensive. The economy sucks. I also see help wanted signs EVERYWHERE! I am a stay-at-home mom. My husband has a decent job, but we are by no means upper-class. We make plenty of sacrifices, so that I am able to stay home with our kids. However, if funds became so tight that we had to rely on welfare, I would GET A JOB! People are living beyond their means, and then taking advantage of government programs to support their bad habits.

For example, there's this article. Ohio Lottery profits most in poor neighborhoods. Well, there's a surprise (NOT)! The people in these low-income neighborhoods literally bet their paychecks in hopes of winning the big one. Then, they realize they don't have enough money left to pay for groceries, rent, utilities, etc. I guess my husband will continue working hard to pay taxes that pay for these people to get a free handout from Uncle Sam. Pathetic.

There are numerous reports that state low-income people are more likely to smoke cigarettes than those of other socio-economic status. Let's say Ima Mooch is on welfare. She smokes a pack a day. Her smokes alone cost her about $110/month. Since food stamps don't cover smokes and alcohol, she's only got a couple hundred left per month (at most) to buy herself some lottery tickets to get out of poverty!

All I'm saying is that people need to learn how to take care of themselves. If you rely on the government, you are giving up control of your life. They will take your freedom as collateral. Get a job (or two), and for God's sake stop breeding!
