Pay Attention to Spending Cuts, Not Culture Change

Open e-mail to Rep. Neugebauer:

Randy,

I read your latest newsletter.

You devoted the whole newsletter, which was four long paragraphs, to your personal position on abortion and rights of the unborn.

I believe it is not the function of government to change society's culture. In fact, this is my main objection to the Obama Administration and the reason I want it out.

If you believe the same, you should be addressing your attention to the more pragmatic aspects of government business.

We also need you to remain in office to continue with your assigned responsibilities. Generally speaking, society is split on its position with respect to abortion and rights of the unborn. Those diverse opinions are strongly held by the different factions, and there is nothing that you can do to change that, even if you desire to do so. Conversely as you ill advisedly enter the fray, you are bound to lose reelection votes from one side or the other. This is obviously unnecessary, because it is self-defeating.

We have a horrendous budget and debt problem. Government has the responsibility to get both under control and the technique is to radically shrink government spending. This will obviously involve government expenditures for health care, including abortions.
