Government Startup versus Reduced Spending

Open Email to Sen. Cornyn (TX):

Dear Sen. Cornyn,
    I refer to your recent form letter on the government shutdown.    In that letter you said excessive government spending dampens job creation and stalls economic growth.  Congress and the President need to implement the spending cuts and structural entitlement reforms necessary to strengthen the long-term fiscal integrity of our country. I agree completely.
    You also said a government shutdown creates further uncertainty and instability in the economy.  I am eager to end the shutdown and move ahead with the fiscal and economic reforms our country so urgently needs.
    It is in this second statement, that we may have a problem. The question is how eager are you to end the shutdown? You must have noticed that Speaker Boehner has made substantial progress against the principles of funding big government advocated by the Senate Democrats and the President. By standing firm in his beliefs and using the strategy of piecemeal funding of government, Speaker Boehner has already achieved some success in government fund reduction and has both Democrats and the President in a state of panic.
    I hope that your eagerness to end the shutdown will not destroy all of the good work that Speaker Boehner has put into his workable program.
