An Open Letter To Congressman Shuler
February 4, 2010
Representative Heath Shuler
422 Cannon House Office Bldg.
Washington, DC, 20515
SUBJECT: OPEN LETTER REGARDING H.J. RES 45: INCREASING THE STATUTORY LIMIT ON THE PUBLIC DEBT
Congressman Shuler:
It is my understanding that sometime today you will vote on H.J. Res. 45, a resolution to increase the ceiling on the national debt by $1.9 trillion. I am strongly opposed to this legislation and encourage you to do the right thing by voting against this resolution.
Are you not aware that our per capita debt has already reached $485,000? Further increases in government spending, achieved by printing money or borrowing from China, can only lead to hyperinflation and financial collapse. The added deception of including a meaningless “PAYGO” provision only serves to make the entire resolution an obvious farce and, as such, an affront to honest, hard-working Americans whose grandchildren will have to pay for Congress’ reckless spending.
The voters in our district whose interests you are supposed to represent seek an end to the expansion of the federal government and a real and significant cut in government expenditures.
As an announced Republican candidate for your seat, I expect to face you in the midterm elections this fall. Although I know your vote in favor of this measure would mean additional ammunition for my campaign, I cannot in good conscience sit back and allow you, Rahm Emmanuel, and Nancy Pelosi to continue to drive our nation on a course toward assured financial ruin.
I urge you to vote AGAINST H.J. Res. 45.
Trust In Freedom,
Dan Eichenbaum, MD
