Us Reader feels line item veto Only way1 the party s Over. The Bottom Falls out of the Stock Market. Rising living costs in Europe due to the de Clining Dollar. Mandatory budget cuts to All of the services. Once again we members of the armed forces overseas Are the first to suffer and the hardest hit in feeling the Pinch. However we freely agreed to be the first to suffer and the hardest hit in the event of War. Not in fiscal matters. The sad part of this Story is mat it does t have to be this Way. These woes arc caused by an obscene Federal deficit a Frankenstein monster created by an irresponsible spend Thrift Congress playing fast and Loose with pork Barret politics. This is the game of seeing which congressman can pump the most Federal dollars Back into Bis or her congressional districts laundered through wasteful unnecessary spending programs. In a Way. It s hard to blame them. They re just looking out after their own constituencies is Well As their own re elections. However somebody has to take the responsibility of balancing the budget now it s interesting to note that our Wise founding fathers recognized tins inherent tendency of Congress to overspend and gave the president veto Power Over any budget he deemed outrageously extravagant. In 1787, when our Constitution was written vetoing an entire budget would Only result in a Mere inconvenience. Today however vetoing an entire budget would result in total economic chaos. This is Why to Day s presidents Don t veto entire budgets. It would result in More harm than Good. So they tend to let unbalanced budgets go past their veto pen being the lesser of two evil. So How can this dilemma be solved Well How about the presidential line item veto with this tool a president can eign a budget into Law keeping the Economy moving and our paychecks com ing and balance the budget by vetoing Only those specific expenditures that he deems without having to veto the entire budget wasteful and unnecessary. As in any other veto Congress can override any individual presidential line item veto by a two third majority Vole for that specific expenditure. In my opinion the line icim veto is the Only Way to go far Superior than a Gramm Rudman Type budget trimming tool. Using Tramm Rudman is like Hun bothered by cheating editor s note to Hii the writer s permission. We Hare Kiili Licud hit name and Lacatini breast of in fell the message had a Trojer Impact than just within his i of a rods of people competing to perform brain surgery with an a using a series of indiscriminate chops to remove a tumor possibly effective and surely better than not doing anything but Why go thai route when you can use the line item veto one skilled special performing fiscal surgery with in Attl like precision we go the former route because we have a Congress that does not want to give that Power to the president and poit their Little game of pork barrel politics. Let s not forget though that they work for us remember you and i arc their Boss. So let s let them know what we want. Contact your Public affairs Legal office lib Rary get the name and address of your senator and congressmen and write them these people do read your letters and write you Back. We can influence them so let s get our future budgets balanced and our deficit paid off and the Good limes Here in Europe rolling again the presidential line item veto. Presi Dent Reagan insists it s necessary. At my last count 43 Stales have it. I was stationed in California when it was billions of dollars in debt facing huge economic problems. The state legislature like Congress today was unable to agree collectively on budget cuts and could not balance any budget. The red Ink ran deeper As each year passed with no Relief or solution in sign. Once the governor got the line item veto Tow debt was paid off and the Treasury we running a surplus in just a few years basically the thing works and Hai proven itself Al the state level. It s about Lime we gave it a Chance at the Federal level. Being a proud member of the armed forces of the United Stales and knowing my fellow comrades in arms abilities dedication and our defense capabilities t fear not in the slightest any foreign Power or outside influence threatening the Security or Way of life of our country. What scares me is remembering a history lesson. Most of the really great powerful nations and civilizations fell from within. Will history add our country to this list because we allowed our Economy to collapse into a sinkhole of uncontrolled debt staff sol. Matthew j. Bundi Lutler hellenic Nab Greece recently i observed something that has bothered me a great Deal. Although it May seem trivial to some the Issue is of importance. 7 attended a class which is mandatory for All in coming soldiers. This class is easy and designed so that anyone can pass it. The final exam is 62 questions Long the last 1 2 being opinion questions. The Issue i m referring to is cheating. Out of 18 soldiers male female enlisted members and cos 1 saw five assist one another. 1 heard one individual ask someone for the answer to an opinion question another bragged of his 100 percent i was shocked to say the least. 1 said nothing to these individuals maybe i should have. The test itself was of Little or no importance and passing would not put these persons ahead of anyone. 1 have just one question for these individuals. Where is your integrity this is a question you must answer on your own. Name and location w Ith bold pen pals i in m in of met of cur. 321-Sengujriv Lim it and Lika a Tiff. Midi to ind Cal.
