I've read "Bankruptcy 1995: The Coming Collapse of America and How to Stop It"  
by Harry Figgie, and it scares the hell out of me.  According to Figgie, the  
most likely results of inaction on the deficit are:

       A catastrophic market panic
	   Hyperinflation
	   20% of American jobs gone
	   Social Security payments cut or eliminated
	  
Figgie writes, "This is not an exaggeration.  In fact, I may be understating  
the degree of calamity that will befall most Americans.  It's going to be  
awful, and whatever you think I mean by awful, you can be sure that it's going  
to be worse."

I am convinced that the deficit is the single most important issue facing our  
country today.  I have written to my U.S. Senators, Congresswoman, the  
President, the Vice President, and prominent politicians such as Lloyd Bentsen,  
Leon Panetta, George Mitchell, Bob Dole, Tom Foley, and Newt Gingrich, urging  
them to take action, and demanding to know what they intend to do.

Now I urge you too to do the same, as soon as possible:
