Rep. Neugebauer (TX) on Obamacare, Federal Budgett and Farm Bill

Open Email to Rep Neugebauer (TX):

Dear Rep. Neugebauer,
I have read your latest newsletter and have the following comments:

Obamacare Security
You have commented on Obamacare security, as one of the significant faults of Obamacare.
I am not much concerned about only the security aspect of Obamacare, I'm still sick from the fact that you were part of the Republicans that voted for Obamacare to become a major socialistic part of American life. You and other Republicans would have to do a complete about-face to convince me that you are not all Socialists in disguise. The only other possibility I can think of on why you would have done this, is that you are not particularly interested in the welfare and continuance of the USA. You are more interested in holding your jobs with votes from low information voters.

Federal Budget
Congratulations on your decision to vote against the Compromise Federal Budget. You said, "The compromise that was reached allows for more federal spending now in exchange for promised savings ten years down the road.  I’m just not confident that we’ll ever see those savings".
The compromise budget allows a reduction in spending, but is still an increase over previous spending. This gives not only a continuing unbalanced budget, but also will lead to an increase in federal debt, which is already abominable. Simply put, Congress is not facing up to any realistic need to cut the federal spending and the size of government.

Farm Bill
The House will have a one-month extension to complete work on a five-year Farm Bill. Your priority remains the five-year Farm Bill.
The only way I could agree to a five-year Farm Bill is that in five years the government will be out of the farming business. As I said before, farming is a business and does not need government incentives or control. I notice also that you again dodge the fact that the Farm Bill under discussion likely still contains the food stamp program, which is welfare and completely unrelated to farming.
