Letter to Legislature 2 Thanksgiving 2009

I have some important suggestions to consider:

1. Please increase funding to the FBI to go after Citigroup, Citibank, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Chase, JP Morgan Stanley, etc. for mis-use of money and sub prime loans (which are still going on...). Barney Frank has really dropped the ball. Please help out Paul Volcker et al. in trying to correctly and hopefully honestly rebuild our economy and stop the abuses of tax payer dollars. Let's get these tax dollars recovered.

2. We need to get out of Afghanistan and Iraq and start applying this tax payer money toward our debts and reinvesting in our infrastructure and helping to create jobs/green jobs for rebuilding the middle class (our beloved tax base). Do we really need to be fighting over this oil pipeline? And other oil sources in these regions. Let's stop unnecessary defense contracts; wasteful spending of tax dollars for unnecessary business/military contracts at once. Let's not allow defense contractors to overcharge the government (ie., the tax payer) Let's put an end to the Halliburton mentality, etc. Let's sincerely heed Eisenhauer's warning of the military industrial complex...

3. Since America is based so heavily on the highway, let's put tax payer dollars and proper incentives for "our" companies for building excellent competitive electric cars--competitive with China and Japan. Let's stop producing substandard vehicles.

4. How can we get our GLOBAL "American" companies to start getting concerned about American workers again? Let's rebuild our infrastructure! This is a primary concern of mine. We need worker project programs again.

5. Repeal NAFTA absolutely!! No more excuses and ignoring this issue. Our government almost did it, what happened?? The pollution and destruction of individuals, communities, cities and abuses in factories as a result are criminal.

Thank you very much for listening,

Aaron Crosetto

    What the hell is going right now?? 30,000 more troops to that region? I thought he said only 10,000 initally. I thought we were pulling out.

    re: #3
    I remember the '70s and what had started happening.. more efficient cars, but now I'm just floored by ads for cars that only get 20-something mpg that were built THIS century.

    I admit to owning a SUV from '91-4, but at least it got 27mpg on the highway. A similar vehicle made in 20-oughtwhenever wouldn't boast that high a number unless it was a hibrid.

    My '94 Integra got 36 mpg on the highway, but our current vehicle, a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer only gets 30 mpg on the highway on a good day.. BOTH are 4 poppers!
