LETTER TO THE PRES.

I am a Democratic Precinct Committeeman from Arizona.  I object to having the discussion of Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare, as part of the debate for raising the debt ceiling.  If these programs’ need to be reorganized for long term fiscal stability and health of the programs, they need to be debated as entities unto themselves and not along with the debated in the pressure cooker atmosphere of raising the debt ceiling.  Pull them off the table; invoke the 14^th Amendment and raise the debt ceiling. Let the Supreme Court sort it out.  Until this debt ceiling is raised, credit will be tight, for lenders will not risk their money in a time of uncertainty. There will be not increase in jobs, thus no recovery. Act now and let us move on to more important issues for debate
