- Description:
- In a letter dated March 13, 1975, Thomas L. Barnard expresses his concerns to Congressman James R. Jones about the increasing encroachment of the Federal Government on American lives through restrictive laws and excessive spending. Barnard criticizes the government's efforts to create jobs for the unemployed, attributing unemployment to individuals demanding high wages. He also criticizes proposed healthcare reforms and questions why Congress is not making sacrifices in light of the financial burden on taxpayers. Congressman Jones responds on March 19, 1975, thanking Barnard for his views and agreeing that extravagant government spending is exacerbating inflation. Jones reassures Barnard that he supports initiatives to reduce the federal budget and control spending.
