Open Letter to the Government

[12th Doctor]

Mr. President and Senators,

Gentlemen, I know that we are facing a budget crunch.  However, I implore you all to listen to what I have to say.  As Treasury Secretary it is my duty to keep our country on sound economic ground.  I must also be aware, as I can assure you, I very much am, of the present fiscal state of our government.  That being said, what we need now, more than anything, is an economic stimulas package. 

Our national economy is currently stabalized.  However, a brick house on a fault line has no reason to be complaincent about it's current situation.  We are just begining to recover from the wounds inflicted on us by instability and threatened civil war.  Any event that happens now, that can be precieved as being negative could put us deeper in the hole than any of us have ever known in our life times.  A terrorist attack, bank failure, corporate scandal, natural disastor, or random outbreak of violence any place in the world would have a profound and devasting effect on us, in our current state.

I know that the money might not be there, but I urge you to find it, somehow.  If you are worried about the budget now, I can assure you, our worries will be 50 fold if, next year, we are facing national depression.

I have done all I can with our monitary policy and can do no more without risking massive inflation and possible econoimc failure.  Please take into consideration what I have said.

Sincerly,

Chris Supersoulty

Secretary, Department of the Treasury
