I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the current tax changes and proposed spending bill. While I understand the necessity of passing a spending bill to avoid a federal government shutdown, I believe it is critical to address the broader implications of these financial decisions.
The proposed increase of the debt ceiling by $4.5 trillion is troubling. At a time when prudent financial oversight is crucial, an increase of this magnitude seems unsustainable. Additionally, the suggested tax cuts aimed predominantly at the top 1% of Americans would only exacerbate existing inequalities, and the benefits are unlikely to trickle down to the broader populace.
The recent circumstances, including the dismissal of federal employees and the cessation of federal funding for budgeted appropriations, illustrate that the needs of Americans have not been prioritized adequately. To prevent further financial destabilization and to build a more equitable future, I urge you to consider pausing and re-evaluating these fiscal strategies.
If necessary, I believe it would be more prudent to temporarily shut down the government rather than rushing through reforms that may have long-lasting negative effects. There is an opportunity to craft a comprehensive tax and spending bill that truly reflects our nation's priorities and safeguards the interests of all constituents, not just the affluent minority.
Please take decisive action to ensure that any new measures are fair and sustainable, even if it means temporarily halting government operations. The long-term economic health of our nation is paramount, and it is vital that we take the time to get these policies right.
I appreciate your attention to this critical issue and look forward to seeing your leadership in crafting fiscal policies that serve the best interests of all Americans.
