- Description:
- The document is a response to a letter criticizing Congress for not reenacting or extending the OPA law. The writer explains that inflation is not solely caused by Congress's failure to extend OPA, but also by deficit spending and borrowing. The writer also criticizes the New Deal Democrats for controlling Congress and blames them for the lack of action. The writer defends their stance on OPA and mentions that rent control was not disturbed in the bill passed by Congress but vetoed by the President. The writer also mentions that they have not received any complaints about rent controls. The document concludes by urging the recipient to support legislation to prevent inflation.
