TO THE EDITOR

With inflation running at the fastest pace in 15 years, and no jobs in sight, and companies are cutting back, and the runaway on foreclosures, this to me is a good indicator that everyone should be cutting back.

With the economy on a downward direction it is time that the U.S. government, the state government, the county government, and the school governing authority rethink their spending agenda and seek ways to stop any expansions at this time.

With the county population dropping and school enrollment down, it's time for the governing bodies to set back and rethink the direction they are going.

Inflation is up, unemployment is up, property foreclosures are up, and bank closings are at an unusual high.

With unemployment at 6.2% and unemployment insurance claims at an alltime high, this is a direct reflection as to the tough times ahead.

With the inflation increasing, everyone has to cut back, now is the time.
