LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Inslee, It's Time for You to Go

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND - Reader submitted

It is time for Representative Inslee to hang ’em up. Back in DC, he acts like money grows on trees.

When our nation faces challenges, such as health care, his instincts tell him government is solution ... big government.

When the economy tanks and people are losing jobs his instincts tell him government borrowing and government spending is the solution.

He’s willing to put us into an additional $1-trillion-plus of debt financed by Chinese money. Why didn’t he instead cut everybody’s taxes by $1 trillion and let us spend our money instead of the government?

I own a small, starving company and if my personal and corporate taxes were cut big time we would have hired staff (we need the help) and given our workers raises. Imagine if this were to happen all over the nation. The economy would take off.

But no, Rep. Inslee believes in more government, more government spending, more and higher taxes which hurts businesses, reduces employee salaries and increases unemployment.

It is time for Rep. Inslee to go.
