Comments to Rep. Neugebauer on his Newsletter:

I read your November 9th newsletter.

Pretty good try on defeating the Obama/Pelosi Healthcare bill in the House, but not enough networking. I believe you need to develop a more effective procedure to educate your more ignorant House associates. The "House Call" on Washington was a nice touch and something you need to support, but the heavy work is done in the House voting, and that's where you need to be more effective.

On the Fort Hood Tragedy and Veterans Day, these are small potatoes compared to what we need to save us all. Healthcare and Climate Control are clearly demonstrating how many aspects of the public are cooperating with government to drag us into Communism. It was interesting to note the anniversary of the Berlin Wall falling and what the news media had to say about it. Communism was mentioned, as well as the observation that the Wall fell from the inside, but there was no information on why it fell and the motivation for those insiders, who pushed it over. All of this history is being ignored as we blithely dance into Communism here in the US.

“Your Question of the Week”. Do you believe we need another economic stimulus package from the federal government to combat the 10.2% and rising unemployment rate? The answer to this one is "yes", but not in the form of dumping money into a rat hole as we have done previously. The high unemployment rate results from many years of neglect to private industry in the United States, as jobs were shipped overseas. A lot of our local production expertise has already been lost and equipment has been dismantled and junked. It will take many years to recover even in a favorable environment, which we do not have at the present time. The previously government established hindrances to local production still exist. A stimulus package must address those issues of removing various mandates on employment. Examples, high company taxes, penalty for not adhering to health insurance mandate, such as in the recently passed House Bill, minimum wage law, working hour limitations. In addition to removing the mandates, government needs to enforce regulations on banking and apply other financial controls in that industry, and enforce antitrust laws to improve competition. This latter would include eliminating interlocking directorships in major corporations, which is the primary basis for huge salaries and bonuses for executives, at the expense of stockholders and consumers.
