President Biden's Reply to My Letter: Over a Year Late (published 7-27-2022; article #341)

Introduction

Howdy, y'all! To readers in northeast Tennessee, when will the weather warm up? It's too cold, and we have had enough snow. Seriously, folks, we are in the dog days of summer when it is supposed to be hot. Molly (our “old puppy”) does not care for the heat.

My 7/25/2021 article took an interesting sidetrack on the Dog Days of Summer, which are from July 3rd to August 11th every year. It has something, or nothing, to do with SiriusXM. Can you figure it out? I am not deviling you!

By the way, I hope you listened to my YouTube channel episode, “If I Were the Devil” – Inspired by Paul Harvey (published 7-22-2022; podcast #3). The link is also in my 7/22/2022 article, which also includes the transcript. Please share both the article and podcast. I am trying to help folks not go to the devil if they hear and listen.

I come now to the purpose of this brief article. President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., apparently, heard the words in my 5/24/2021 letter to him, but he did not listen to (or heed) them. President Biden replied on 7/12/2022. Why did it take him over a year to reply to my letter?

My 5/24/2021 Letter to President Biden

The 5/22/2021 article, An Invitation to the First President of the USSA to “Show Me the Money” Tree (published 5-22-2021), includes the main content of my letter to President Biden. I mailed it on 5/24/2022, as my article stated. The three links to the national debt are still valid.

The final two paragraphs of my article stated:

Of course, in practical terms, I know that he will never know that I sent this letter. I anticipate that a robotic letter-opening machine will open my letter, scan it for content, determine that the content is irrelevant, and send my letter to the recycle robot.

My wisdom, in a word, will be someone's toilet paper—eventually. I will have tried!

Apparently, my 5/24/2021 letter to President Biden did not become toilet paper!

President Biden's 7/12/2022 Reply

Monday, July 18, 2022, was Mrs. Appalachian Irishman's age [year censored by her] birthday. On that date, I received President Joe Biden's 7/12/2022 reply, over a year later, to my 5/24/2021 letter! That was my wife's “birthday surprise!”

The image of his letter to me is below. I hope you can enlarge it and read it. I added my handwritten notes and blotted out the name of the “huge metropolitan megacity” where we live.

Joe addressed me by my first name, as if we were on a first-name basis. Thus, I will just call him Joe. He wrote that he was “hearing from” me.

My Thoughts to Joe

I'm glad that my letter inspired you, Joe, but why did it take over a year to reply to me? Joe, you and I are not traveling the same road together.

You are optimistic for the future. I am not. Most folks are not. Your common ground is sinking sand. I will not join you there.

You think that you are moving this country forward, but you are moving it backward. I would help you write the next chapter in the American story if you would listen to me. You, however, do not want to listen to my courage and dedication.

The Ununited Socialist States of America (USSA) is at a critical moment. You, Joe, do not want to meet the moment with anyone who disagrees with your socialist agenda, including me. The best days of the USA—or USSA, since 1/20/2021, when you, Joe, became the first USSA president—are behind us. Well, they are behind us at least for a long time, if not forever.

Joe, you wrote as if my letter were important. Please do not pontificate to me. I am not deceived.

The USSA Money Tree

The U.S. Department of the Treasury website includes Fiscal Data, which is “your one-stop shop for federal financial data.” The Fiscal Data website includes Debt to the Penny, which is the official record of national debt, updated each workday.

On 7/25/2022, the “Total Public Debt Outstanding” was $30,543,559,825,181.40. The website includes the historical national debt. It is found by finding “Preview & Download, Date Range (Record Date), and All.” The following are three additional dates for perspective:

7/25/2012 - debt $15,874,859,322,768.40 (almost half the 7/25/2022 debt)

7/25/2002 - debt $6,150,003,507,609.84 (almost half the 7/25/2012 debt)

4/01/1993 - debt $4,225,873,987,843.44 (the first entry with none farther back)

The Preliminary Report on Foreign Holdings of U.S. Securities at End-June 2021, February 28, 2022, lists at least 25 nations to which the USSA is in debt. China is number six on the list. Japan is number one. I doubt that Japan will try to take over the USSA. China wants to. I still suggest that we start learning Mandarin.

Since 2002, the national debt has almost doubled every ten years. There is no money tree, folks. The USSA is broke and continues to spend more money than it brings in (which is plenty), like an undisciplined adult who maxes out his credit cards.

Conclusion

I will let you all know if I decide to reply to Joe's letter. If I do, I will not wait over a year as he did. I don't think I will reply. Doing so would waste my time, like casting pearls before swine. (See Matthew 7:6.)

At least my 5/24/2021 letter to Joe did not become someone's toilet paper! I assume that a low-level staffer discovered that Joe's standard form letter, which someone wrote for him, had not been sent to me. I speculate that a staffer took a form letter from the stack and mailed it to me. Joe may have signed his name on the original letter, which was copied several times. I would be shocked to learn that Joe took time to read my 5/24/2021 letter and pen a personal reply on 7/12/2022. I doubt that Joe even knows he sent me a letter.

Joe, you need to listen to and heed my words, not just hear them. Come on, man! Joe, guide this once-great nation back to the Rock of Ages, not to the sinking sand of Satan! I pray to the Lord that you will listen and hear. I am offering a pearl of great price! (See Matthew 13:45.) Don't throw away the pearl, Joe!
