Bob Moler's Ephemeris Blog

Here is the email I sent my US representative Dave Camp:

Dear Mr. Camp,

I am writing to you to urge you to vote to raise the debt ceiling.  Preferably with no strings attached.  The amount of hate coming from the extreme right towards Mr. Obama must be more that just his politics.  Heck he’s farther right than I am, and I consider myself a moderate.

We cannot continue to be a great country by starving the government, the poor and elderly.  I know “investing” is a bad word to you Republicans, but America must invest in jobs, our infrastructure, and our future or our drop from a first world to a third world country will be rapid.  To do this we must spend and if necessary raise taxes.

Get on with it, Sir.

Respectfully,

Bob Moler

I live in the politically red side of the State of Michigan, where the joke is, on the shores of Grand Traverse Bay, “A view of the bay is worth half your pay.”

It’s no joke.
