Last week you published a letter from a 10-year-old child, Jack Shinkman, who is capable of understanding that our national budget is immorally out of whack. He gets that the Defense department receives a huge amount of money every year, from us taxpayers, and they never have to account for how it is spent. He gets that this money could go for things that take care of people, like healthcare and education. If this is all so clear to a fifth grader, why is it so confounding for our elected officials?
