Dear Editor,

Get Ready America!

Your taxes are going up, your Social Security checks will be cut, Medicare will be cut, and all programs to help the poor in America will be cut and the American worker looking to retire will work ‘til you die. Yes, the government is raising the retirement age again. Forget retirement in America, just work ‘til you die.

Have you seen a Congressman or Senator or President say, “Let’s cut foreign aid?”Forget it. I’ve called local radio stations and TV news to talk about cutting foreign aid and not American programs and not one would talk about it. What’s up?

Well America, my taxes are paid for helping American people in my homeland. If we are in debt, no foreign aid should be sent overseas. All foreign aid needs to be before any program for Americans is cut, not one dollar, not one dime, not one penny.

American it’s your money the government is giving away to buy friends, overseas friend like that we don’t need. Our taxes are paid to help Americans here at home first and until our national debt is paid off, not foreign aid for any overseas countries.
