Ready to Make Some Sacrifices

Share via

I am a Republican who did not vote for Bill Clinton, but I am now all for him, as we all should be, since the majority did vote for him. He is trying to keep his promises.

I am 75 years old and I feel that the cancellation of the small cost-of-living increase in Social Security benefits is justified and will hardly be missed by the elderly. I also believe that an increased gasoline tax is not only justified but necessary for less pollution and less traffic. We would also be made healthier with more walking, bicycling, etc.

In order to fight joblessness and the deficit, we must all make some sacrifices.
