The little surprises found while reading the paper

The little surprises found while reading the paper

EDITOR:

A couple of days ago I found another reason why it is imperative that one reads our only newspaper carefully every day.

On Saturday, Sept. 26, a small article on page 3 of the Vindicator stated that congress had extended the budget while they try to figure out how to squeeze more out of the taxpayers. As a brief side note the article said congress also raised law maker’s office budget by 8%. It certainly makes one wonder at the sincerity of our congressmen who pledge to do what is best for us.

I feel that the congressmen and women should find ways to cut their budget by at least 8 percent. Most union workers outside public employment have given concessions of much more than that. Even some public employees have given back some of their pork.

Every taxpayer who has had to tighten his belt should contact Congressmen Ryan and Wilson and offer to show them how to do so. Also ask Ryan what it cost us for him to make the trip back to D.C. so he could take that “cool ride” on Air Force One.
