Fed Debt Usury Plan; Or FeD-UP:
Well, I’ve done it. I’ve come up with an answer for paying off both the funded and unfunded federal debt. I knew there had to be a way and just this morning, the solution occurred to me. There it was all the time; hiding in plain sight.
I did the math and the total federal debt owed in the
But, once we pay off the federal debt, we can concentrate on the light weight stuff.
If every man woman and child in the
To help you with the math, I will provide an example for a married couple who have three children in school and both husband and wife have retired parents with no ability to pay. That makes you responsible to send in money for the nine people in your direct linage.
That also makes your share today, only $3, 246,000.03. Should you have an old uncle or aunt with no family, you should split their portion with your brothers and sisters. If your brothers and sisters aren’t working, in all fairness, you should probably kick in their share.
Also you should add, say another $20,000, to cover your share of your Congress person, because they aren’t working either.
There you have it…the instant debt reduction plan. What’s that? You don’t have three million dollars in you checking account? Okay, I can solve that with the easy payment plan.
In this brisk economy, how much can you afford to put down? Three dollars isn’t much, but we have to start somewhere. You could sell the gas in your lawnmower and come up with another three bucks.
That leaves $3,245,997.03 to finance. We’ll set that up at the low, low interest of 6% fixed and a 30 year payment plan which results in the very affordable payment of $19,461.39 per month for the rest of your life.
Of course, I’m joking about all of this. Not the numbers, they’re real as rain. You would of course have to throw in your house payment, food, auto, insurance and other monthly expenses on top of your federal debt reduction payment. But then, that’s no step for a stepper.
What I’m not joking about, is that it’s impossible. Can’t be done. Out of the question. So why do we not talk about these realities and instead wait like lambs for the slaughter holding out for the next election? It simply defies all logic.
Waiting for the next election is how we arrived at this juncture. I would love to hear from those who see this differently and who truly have a solution that is sane and palatable. I would also love to hear from those who see this in the same light that I do, and ask for your input.

If we had or if we would educate ourselves, even a little as to how we are supposed to be operating our government. And then if we would study the voting records of those running for office; we could then contact our representatives with insightful letters, e-mails and phone calls that would change our country for the better. If we choose to sit by and wait for the next move from our elected officials without informed input from us, there is no future.
If your reading audience is interested in helping themselves, Mike. By all means prepare for the worst for sure. But also do a little self study and write your representatives. It is effective, if done by the masses. I will attach a reference list for those who are tired of letting the government make all the moves on their own. The have proven that this method is not working. Let’s try another for a change:
WRITING YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES
Your correspondence with your Representatives and Senators is important, and therefore should not be underestimated. Indeed, such correspondence is a responsibility, even an obligation you should assume when you elect a public official. After all, how can your elected members of Congress effectively represent you if you fail to inform them of your views? Many representatives and senators recognize that letters, emails, and faxes they receive from voters back home are among their best sources for learning and understanding the views of their constituents.
Writing effective letters to your elected representatives is not difficult. A well-worded and factually (do some research) persuasive letter can cause an elected official to review or reevaluate his or her position on an issue. Such correspondence has been known to cause a change in position or vote. Communicating your support on an issue, also can reinforce and strengthen a representative’s position and gives him or her visible evidence of constituent support.
Here are some basic guidelines to follow when you sit down to write:
Why Write?
• To express your views on an issue and to help your elected representatives understand your position as a constituent.
• To solicit his/her views and position on issues.
• To seek a commitment on an issue.
• To seek assistance and support as a constituent.
• To seek information or ask questions.
• To express appreciation for a job well done or for a particular vote.
Important Courtesies
• Be friendly, politicians are human too.
• Be polite.
• Be reasonable, don’t ask for the impossible.
• Don’t threaten, especially with your vote.
• Don’t demand a final or immediate commitment, legislation is a complicated process.
• Be appreciative, say “thank you”, especially when you agree with a vote or position.
Format
• Address your letter properly; the recipient’s name and address should be on the e-mail or letter and envelope.
• Proper spellings of the names are located on this page.
• Always write legibly or type if possible; it’s preferred that you just use one side of your paper.
• Make sure your full return address is written on the letter and on the envelope since envelops are often separated from their letter.
• Sign your letter above your printed or typed name. It is often difficult to read people’s signatures; this will ensure correct spelling of your name.
• Keep a copy of your correspondence and any material that you include for your personal records.
Content
• Send a personal letter IN YOUR OWN WORDS. These are far more effective than letters from an obvious mass mailing campaign. Avoid any appearance of a form letter. Remember: it is your opinion that your representative is interested in.
• State your reason for writing; be specific!
• Express yourself clearly.
• Be brief and to the point.
• Discuss only one subject, don’t confuse the issue.
• Identify subject clearly; give name of legislation and bill number if known. (Remember that some 20,000 bills are introduced in Congress).
Strategy
• Be constructive, help seek a solution.
• Share your expertise, if knowledgeable on a certain issue, describe your expertise.
• Avoid becoming a “pen pal”; don’t write merely for the sake of writing.
• After stating your position, ask for his/her position on the legislation or issue.
• Don’t send carbon copies to your other elected representatives; each one deserves a personal letter.
• Be patient; if you don’t receive a response in a reasonable time, send a follow-up note and enclose a copy of your original letter.
• If the response that you receive seems noncommittal or evasive, politely write back for clarification.
Timing of Your Correspondence
• Timing is important; write when your views can have the greatest impact. If writing about a specific bill. Write while the bill is in committee: thus, there is still time for effective action.
• When public hearings are anticipated and it seems appropriate, request that your elected representative testify in support of your position as a constituent.
• Monday and Friday usually have the heaviest mail, so try to time receipt of your letter between Tuesday and Thursday.
Remember: Be Brief: Be Clear, and Be Courteous.
BB,
Your comment is excellent. I particularily liked the part, “After all, how can your elected members of Congress effectively represent you if you fail to inform them of your views?”
They are not mind readers and constant reminders of why they are there truly could help.
When I have been on boards as a director, we were highly influenced by constituents coming to meetings and stating their positions, particularly in large numbers.
