Recession is Over, Return $677 Billion of the Stimulus

Dear Mr. President,

It was reported today that 80% of economists are saying the recession is over. This is great news. It seems that the unspent remainder of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, $677 Billion (recovery.org), can be returned to general fund as it is no longer necessary.

Repealing the remainder of this spending would have many beneficial consequences. It would reduce the national debt and dependence on foreign investors, make the US Dollar stronger, reduce the burden on our children's children, and free up funding for health care reform.

I urge you to influence congress to modify the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and return the balance to the treasury.

Thank you for your service.

Dear Mr. President.

I read with curiosity your Labor Day speech in Ohio yesterday and one thing stood out to me.

You said,

"That's why we passed an unprecedented Recovery Act, and we did it without the usual Washington earmarks and pork-barrel spending."

Sir, I beg to differ. There is virtually no one outside of Washington DC who does not know that the Recovery Act is nothing more than a conglomeration of 9000 pork projects that would have been earmarks, except the congressional crisis made it unnecessary to go that route.

Please sir, for the good of this Great Country, be careful with your words. There are many out there who want you to fail and your repeating falsehoods written for you by others only encourages them.

Thank you for your support.
