Sequester

Open Email to Sen. Cruz (TX):

Dear Sen. Cruz,
I have read your form letter on the Sequester.
The is a result of a 2011 law, which was a compromise to allow an increase in the federal debt in exchange for a process to obtain reductions in federal spending. However, the reductions, known as the Sequester, only represent a smaller increase in future spending rather than real cuts.
While the Sequester has been helpful, we are still on an unsustainable spending program and debt increase that continues to harm our economy and will eventually lead to destruction of the US as an economic and political entity. You are hopeful that Congress will set politics aside and seriously address this unsustainable economic program
While I agree completely with your position, I see that you have no recommendations of how we can reverse this unsustainability nor do I. As long as the Democrats retain control of the Senate and we have a Democratic President, it seems to me there is no hope for change, and there is nothing we can do about it. The people will decide in 2014 whether to continue this unsustainable program or not.
