“Well, again, I'm grateful. We don't, again, want to see any family suffer any unemployment or suffer any situation like that. But I think this letter that I got today from a constituent back home from Gail in Fremont says quite a bit. She said, ``I'm writing to let you know I oppose the stimulus, Congressman. I'm opposed,'' she adds, ``to the overwhelming debt the government is all too willing to place on us with no long-range plan for getting us back on stable ground.'' She goes on, ``What is the Federal Government doing without during this emergency?'' She says, ``In my home when there's no money, we do without. We don't spend money we don't have. I'd rather tighten my belt for a time than to live the rest of my life under the burden of increased taxes for this bloated stimulus package.'' Unrestrained, unsustainable spending is the issue here, and we need to maximize economic productivity through smart thinking about what really is stimulus.”
