Deficit will increase several indications have made it increasingly Clear that our new president has no intention of dealing with the fed eral budget deficit. It is my opinion that he never was serious about dealing wit this drastic problem. Rather it seems to have been Only a Campaign Issue used to help him get  made at the economic meetings in Little Rock were among the first  such As the deficit is irrelevant if health care costs can t be controlled and the deficit May have to increase initially in order to accomplish the new administration s economic goals clearly Point out the direction the deficit will take. President Clinton s Choice of Leon Panetta As budget director is another indication that he does not intend to Lowe the deficit. Congressman Panetta was the main voice in the House arguing against balanced budget amendment last year. Now he will direct the administration budget planners. The shelving of a Middle class tax Cut followed by the mention of a possible tax increase and estimates of ballooning deficits in the next several years make it All too apparent that the deficit is Only going to increase under president Clinton. Craig Snyder Rhein main a Germany no time for urinalysis three months ago i cast a vote for change. I voted for Bill Clinton. Reading in the stars and stripes jan.25 edition i see it s impossible to expect change in any area of american  delay of drug tests for one month for aides to get settled in their jobs i ludicrous. We Are forced to submit to urinalysis twice a year and Are usually called in Early in the mornings to do  thought of a White House aide not having five minutes to urinate in Acup is hard to believe. The democrats Are just As bad As the republicans when it comes to cover  and taking care of them and theirs , the . Army continues to trash the careers and lives of the Little Guys every Day. How can we in Clear conscience respect a commander in chief who oks such a policy is it too late to change my vote Christopher a. Boston Mannheim Germany the majority rules Many letter writers discuss their constitutional rights and How they re in fringed upon. Most people Don t know what their rights Are because they be never read the  first premise of the Constitution is that americans should have the Freedom to live As they wish unless it interferes with the rights of others. The second i that when the actions of a minority Are incompatible with the consensus of the majority the majority rules. For example although religious Freedom is protected by the Constitution some religious activities like bigamy and polygamy arc  is a hot topic. We now the clinton3 is route  slow town Gaysville have a president who believes everyone smoral beliefs should be As flexible As his. Whether being Cay is right or wrong nor Mal or abnormal is irrelevant. Since people in the military Are forced Tolive together ordering them to accept a lifestyle that the majority finds unacceptable not Only violates Legal precedence but also a principle of democracy the great est Good for the greatest  minority groups have More political coercive ability simply because smaller groups Are easier to organize however the majority is not without Power. Zoe Baird was almost certain to be confirm Edas attorney general until a flurry of Public opposition caused her to  is not a right but a privilege which is easily lost if not  t. Grant  homosexuality perverse i read the headlines As the stars an stripes squealed with glee at the Prospect of the president lifting the ban on homosexuals in the armed forces. Although homosexuality is growing i acceptance throughout our culture Many still consider it perverse immoral and con sequently bad for the american military. Like All maladjusted behaviour Homo sexuality is caused by Devil spirits. Every one can just quit debating the Issue be cause now you know. Christians in the armed forces May have to serve alongside homosexuals but we will not be misled by a nation that continues to reject the go that made her so great. The Church of Jesus Christ is becoming bigger and bold Erin this final generation. I emphasize the Issue of homosexuality rather than homosexuals themselves. God loves homosexuals they can be absolutely forgiven. A. Carl a.

No this Cabinet does not represent America it represents race gender and  Lambert Span Dahlem a Germany drug test delay appalling i am appalled at the new administration s decision to waive drug testing for its senior staff members until feb. 15.what is president Clinton worried about who is he worried about Why docs getting settled into their jobs re quire a postponement of a drug test How Long does it take to give a urine Sam ple to a lab technician it takes a month to Clear blood of drug use what a coincidence. How Are we supposed to feel about that How do you suppose other world leaders and people will interpret that postponement i think the credibility and integrity of this new administration is now questionable. Why Start off this Way it just look bad. Period. They should reconsider this waiver and go on with the tests and restore our Faith in their leadership. As it stands the waiver shows incredibly poor judgment on their  m.
