Balanced Budget Message-ID: <870@ihuxm.UUCP> Date: Mon, 6-Feb-84 15:44:42 EST Article-I.D.: ihuxm.870 Posted: Mon Feb 6 15:44:42 1984 Date-Received: Thu, 9-Feb-84 07:30:23 EST Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL Lines: 13 Maybe the American people should take away the right of Congress to spend dollar amounts. The only figures they should manipulate are percentages. Each year they can figure out what percentage of the budget goes to each program. Once they get the estimated amount of Uncle Sam's income for that year - the budget would be finished. Of course, then they would just turn the TAX SCREWS tighter! But then the people could take away their right to increase our taxes without first cutting their salaries. Carl W. Amport Naperville, IL.
