The editorial in Friday’s The Citizen, reprinted from the Concord Monitor was totally irresponsible. So, I submitted the following as community commentary to The Citizen, and something similar to the Concord Monitor. I doubt they will publish my input:

+++++++++++++

Please check the attribution of The Citizen’s April 13, 2012 editorial, titled, “A budget to widen nation‘s income gap.“ If it really came from the Concord Monitor, please check to see if they have replaced their editorial staff with the Democrat National Committee. I am shocked that our respected local paper would print such a partisan and totally non-constructive editorial.

The editorial calls the Ryan plan ”radical”. Compared to what? Lets compare it to the Senate‘s budget. Oops, the Democrat controlled Senate doesn’t have a budget, it hasn’t passed a budget in three years!

To the Editor:

Every child knows which parent to approach for permission to do something risky, expensive, inappropriate, or too impractical. The parent who says “No” is called “mean”, “uncaring“, “selfish”, etc.

Some marriages have problems because over-spending threatens financial disaster, e.g., eviction, inability to purchase real needs like food and health insurance. Sometimes one spouse stands up to avoid the disaster, slashes expenses, sells expensive toys, cancels unessential services, etc. Family members enjoying the excess spending may call these cuts “extreme” and the responsible parent “mean”, “uncaring“, “selfish”, etc.

Across our country city, state, and federal governments have recklessly over-spent and over-committed future spending.
