congress message

It seems congress is not going to get anything done about balancing the budget or our national debt. I said A long time ago that it would be better to let all the Bush tax cuts expire then to do nothing so now is the time to let all the Bush tax cuts expire and if congress passes any laws to reinstate them the president could veto them and let all the tax cuts expire that would give the country A chance to recover. It might be hard on some of the lower income people but it would restore the countrys credit rating and give people confidence to expand their businesses and start new ones and that would create A lot of new jobs. Then if we were to pass the right to work law that also would encourage people to start new businesses. Another law that should be passed is to make english the official language of the U. S. With the stipulation all government business and official printing materials and voting ballots be in english only That would that would save the country billions and would encourage all emigrants to become english speaking american citizens I would agree nobody should get A cost of living increase as long as the government is in trouble. Every time you give A cost of living increase the cost of living goes up another notch. It’s a never ending cycle. You have to draw the line some where. My opinion by John Zilverberg

The legislators are not getting anything done about our budget shortfall or our national debt. The legislators are not getting anything done about our budget shortfall or our national debt. Maybe we should give all our legislators A years vacation without pay. That $175000.00 salary and the additional perks each one is getting would be A good start on correcting our budget short fall and our national debt. We could probably hire some retired farmer for $25000.00 to run the government.. He could surly do A better job of running the government then our present legislators are doing, At least he would have enough common sense to know that you have to collect some money to pay your bills if you are going to exist, then there are Fannie mae and Fannie Mac . We have already spent 170 billion to bail them out and they could cost us up to 220 billion by 2014.Right now they are asking for another 13,8 billion bail out money from the government ( that is us the tax payers) In the mean time they are paying their executives millions in salaries and bonuses. .In 08 and 09 twelve executives got 35 million in salaries and bonuses The top executive getting 9.3 million. They claim they have to pay that much to keep their top qualified employees .If I had top qualified employees that were losing me that much money I would send them down the road in A hurry. It should not be hard to qualify for A job to destroy A business. . My opinion by John Zilverberg Maybe we should give all our legislators A years vacation without pay.

blue print for congress

A blueprint for congress What they need to do to get this country back on A sound financial basis. First make english the official language of the U. S. All official government documents and voting ballots to be printed in english only. If any one needs an interpater it would be up to them to furnish one. No government equity or business should be required by law to furnish one. that would save the government billions. second pass the right to work law . that would give businesses an opertunity to hire cheaper labor .Thereby creating more jobs , creating new businesses and all these people with new jobs would be paying taxes instead of the govrnment having to support them. Third raise out top income bracket on personal income from the present 35 persent one persent for every 100 thousand after the first 250 thousand up to 90 persent 4th reinstate the inheritance tax with A three million exemption then 10 percent on the fourth million and increase it 10 percent for each additional million up to 50 percent 5th make everybody pay the social security withholding tax on all of their income and return any tax collected on social security payments back in to the social security funds .that would solve the problem of the social security short fall,.If these recomendations were passed we would soon have the national debt paid off and our economy back on track. And we could save 50 percent on the taxes we are paying now because that is presently being used to pay the interest on the national debt If we use social security and medicare funds to pay off the national debt we are taking the money away from the poor people that need the money while the big money people and the unions that are responsible for the trouble we are in . so they should be paying the bill My opinion by John Zilverberg.
