"Drastic times call for...

Surely, surely we can pull together this time. Rita and Katrina have done their work, now lets join together and do our work. Everyone needs to give.

The public outpouring has been simply amazing. Business has made huge donations. The President has asked for and the Congress has approved billions for relief and recovery. The economy is growing at 4% in spite of our war and weather. Now, how to pay for them?

Billions of tax dollars are flowing into Washington due to President Bush's TAX cut. That needs to stay; but more "pork" has to be cut. We must go back and cut bills. There are a lot of nice things that aren't necessary. These are well known to the President, and to Congress, and to me, John Q. Citizen. "Drastic times call for drastic measures."
