08Sept29Congressman Dave Camp
Dear Mr. Camp:
Up until yesterday, my sense was that the proposed BAILOUT would reward the very
people most responsible for the recent financial problems in this country.
Yesterday I got a phone call from a friend in Utah who has studied this issue
more than I have and he thinks the same thing.
You should probably vote against the bailout legislation that has been proposed
as of last week. But it is my custom to offer more than yes-or-no answers. So
here is what I am suggesting that you propose as an alternative:
However much money is being proposed to bail out the financial giants
($700,000,000 or more?), divide up that same amount among the adult citizens of
this country ($8,000 or so each?) If the personal allowance is counted as income
for the purpose of determining eligibility for all government programs, there
would be an enormous savings to taxpayers in the form of reduced costs of
administrating those programs.
My sense is that between the additional money ordinary citizens would have to
invest or spend and the savings to taxpayers, those factors would do more to
correct the present downturn in the economy than a bailout of banks, mortgage
companies or both.
Our computer isn’t working very well and at the moment and our printer doesn’t
work either but if I can send you a snail-mail about this too, I’ll try to do
so.
Yours truly,
Roger Metzger

Would be nice if the ACLU would finally come around and fight against
any registration requirement.
