Important Links

Here’s how you can get in touch with your Congressmen:

• The Budget: United States Budget Dilemma
  An accountant goes through the numbers and explains why we have a spending problem in the United States budget. This is not just a dry recitation of numbers, but explains the hole we’ve dug for ourselves that can only be remedied by spending less. You can’t tax enough revenue to cover the shortfall. John Stossel also notes that if you tax all income over $1 million, you just can’t make up the shortfall, so the problem is not too little revenue.
  For a shorter (and better produced) version of the issue, here is Michael Tanner from the Cato Institute with “How to Solve America’s Spending Problem”.
