Workin on the Home Front

Hey Barry:

Glad to read y'all still after the BIG money Barry - its how y'all gonna save the country.

The BIG cash guys makin a big stank that they all gonna sign a letter ta give away half or so of what they got, thas accordin to Buffet and Gates.

Read it here: http://givingpledge.org/

Aint' gonna make no difference ifn they do. I'd hate to be cynical, but it could jes be that they want some good press as y'all go about rewriting the tax codes.

In order ta make a difference they gotta give it all up to Uncle Sam - let em keep the chump change, like mebbe ten million or so.

That'll keep em off the streets, but wont let em buy no laws.

Turn dat ship round Barry - headin for the calm ports an outta the storms.

We with ya Barry.

Your pal,

US Military Needs Work

Hey Barry:

BIG money aint the only problem. The army and all need some work too. Stephen J. Hadley and William J. Perry worked it out here:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/29/AR2010072905006.html

Here's their bottom line: 'We identified the five gravest potential threats to those interests likely to arise over the next generation: radical Islamist extremism and the threat of terrorism; competition from rising global powers in Asia; the continued struggle for power in the Persian Gulf and the Greater Middle East; an accelerating global competition for resources; and persistent problems from failed and failing states. '

And, Barry, fixin all that gonna mean puttin screws to the BIG money - thas the only place we gonna get the cash.

Get the money from the BIG money and fix the banks and the army. Ifn y'all dont do all that, we gonna sink slowly in the sunset, Barry.

Itsa big job Barry. We with ya. Keep at it.

Your pal,
