Of cult to predict or control but the spi ruling National debt is a serious problem that we have simply chosen to ignore. To put the problem in perspective compare the Federal budget to that of a private household. Each year the government spends something in excess of a trillion dollars. / t about a Quarter of this goes toward interest payments on borrowing which has resulted in a current National debt of approximately $3 trillion a the same Quarter by which annual spending exceeds Revenue in the deficit. Thus if not for the need to pay interest on the debt resulting from past deficits there would be no current deficit and no need to raise taxes or Cut spending to balance the budget. 7 what about the half trillion Dollar deficit reduction package of 1990? it was a step in the right direction but much too Small a step. When the smoke and mirrors Are lift cd the result is that the National debt will grow by $2 trillion rather than by $2.5 trillion Over five years. By the middie of the decade the debt will have grown from $3 trillion to $5 trillion. Along with this growth will come an exceptional growth in the interest payments required to keep the debt from further expanding. A with the exception of families paying a mortgage Ana thereby building up equity in a Home no household can have debts in theess of three times their annual income and Hope to survive financially. A 7-1 a / similarly the . Economy is bound to deteriorate even More As Long As we continue Bur irresponsible fiscal policy. The Bottom line is that substantial tax increases and spending cuts Are needed now to avoid future disaster. A Steven j. Ehlenbeck Rhein main a Germany reflects on War now that the War in the Gulf is Over i have a few things 1 would like to say. First those of you who have been belly Ching and whimpering about being a conscientious objector for the last few months should go ahead and finish the paperwork you be started. Obviously you done to want to be in the  to the editor and we certainly done to want to keep someone who is protecting our backsides to have serious doubts about bearing arms or killing the enemy. Second i Hope when the time comes to Dole out . Foreign Aid that our government remembers who belonged to the coalition forces and who did no to Japan Jordan Germany Etc. Last but not least in a a yellow dog Democrat but if Gen. Hnorman Schwarzkopf chooses to run for president in the future ill be crossing those political barriers to vote for him on the Republican ticket. A Darlene t. Rouse Firth German.  a a a a. Guns Are dangerous i think in be heard enough about the right to Bear arms. It sickens me to hear the National Rifle association and gun toting americans cry it is their right to carry firearms. 7 guns Are dangerous weapons. We a to is the same that Are being used by our troops in the Gulf. Weapons have one intent a to destroy a whether it be an enemy Soldier a Deer in the Forest or a burglar in a neighbourhood Home. A. A 7 a being a fairly reasonable sort of girl i realize that any form of gun control in the United states unfortunately will never work while the Era and these Quot rights a people keep flapping their Gums or is it Quot guns. And that in Light of the Many Acci dental deaths that occur each year due to weapons is a shame.  or. Airman Lara k.
