Dear Editor:
I am one who regularly complains about massive federal deficits. I will cash my check. The check is funded by piling more debt on my progeny, I think it only reasonable that I accept it. My wife and I are considering using the checks to start growth accounts for our two great-grandchildren. They are the ones who will be paying interest on the debt for their entire working lives, if our nation survives current government excesses.
I am definitely opposed to federal rewards for irresponsible behavior, rewards funded by debt piled on the shoulders of future generations. I am opposed to spending by federal politicians who have consistently proven that they place getting re-elected above the good of U.S. citizens. I am not necessarily opposed to some of the programs.
Free stuff programs should be funded and administered at the local and state levels, as they were in past generations. We voters have far more control over who is elected at the state and local level than we do over who is elected at the federal level. If local and/or state politicians fund programs we think are not worthwhile we can vote them out of office. That can't happen at the federal level because no one at that level shows any sign of fiscal responsibility.
We in Missouri can thank the Hancock Amendment for giving us control over runaway spending by state government. We the people are supposed to have a say in how our money is being spent.
I used to say liberals and I have one thing in common, we both think we know how best to spend the money I earned. Now liberals aren't content with spending money I earned, they want to spend the money that my great-grandchildren won't even begin to earn for another 15-20 years.
