I learned on March 8 that our federal government is spending $42 million to inform us of rebates to help the economy — something which the news media has already done!
Could this money have not been more effectively spent on medical care for poor children or to extend assistance to the larger numbers of unemployed workers? This is not an example of good management and fiscal responsibility.

Phdee, NAFTA and illegal immigration are the two biggest drains on the economy as we speak, they both need to be fixed. Enough said. Chris Cummings

ZCX, what does NAFTA and illegal immigration have to do with this letter? Answer: zilch. You are so wrapped up in the immigration matter that you can’t think straight.

The Government routinely misspends on programs that don’t work, where is the great outcry in that? Readers Digest did an article on Government overspending that would save a Trillion dollars a year. You could have done this article in any given year with any President. Chris Cummings

We were weakened the moment that Clinton signed NAFTA and legal immigration was increased to around a million a year. It is the legal citizens who end up paying for these freeloaders. Chris Cummings

This isn’t the first bad call for the Bush Administration. If you think that the above is outrageous, you should look into the Iraq funds and other wasteful expenditures. Bush Jr. is used to having disposable income, and you can tell by his common-sense lacking approach to federal spending. No wonder there is a massive deficit looming over our heads. Only one so completely ignorant is capable of weakening the strongest county in the world, if indeed we will be able to still call ourselves a world power in four years.
