Letter to Congressman Watkins Regarding Economic Philosophies and Government Spending

The letter is from someone named RES to the Honorable Wes Watkins, a member of the House of Representatives. RES recalls a previous conversation about the effect of bureaucracy on the economy and suggests that Congress can change the direction the country is heading. They mention Watkins support of Representative Jones budget proposals, but view it as political partisan. RES urges Watkins to prioritize the stabilization of the currency and reduce federal government spending. They criticize a previous decision by Representative Jones to grant millions of dollars to certain authorities, causing interest rates to rise for the poor and industry. RES believes that elected officials should take action for the country and its citizens.
