I want to introduce myself first and tell you why I wanted to write this letter. My name is Cecil Laurenson. I am 84 years old and worked all my life since I was 14 years old. I cannot tell you what a wonderful country we live in and how the good Lord has blessed me and given me four wonderful children.

I want to tell you what a great job you have done with the economy along with building the wall and approaching China on the tariffs on balancing the trade to equalize the difference in pricing goods, etc. I like you, as you call a spade a spade and have the other countries respect.

What I want to suggest is for the government to set up a lottery to cover all 50 states and call it COVID-19 so the people know what it is for. I would suggest we have 10 winners in each state across our country and this would get the interest just like the Powerball drawing. I dont know how much revenue it would bring but make it 50/50 with 50 percent going to the government and 50 percent going to the states of the drawing winners.

Once it starts we should first pay back or pay off the stimulus package, then work on paying off the national debt. Then, I think we could work on our bridges and roads that need replaced. I know Im from the old school, but you cannot spend more that what you make or have coming in.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Yours truly, A proud American.
