Chafin to Congressman James R. Jones expressing concerns about the President's plan to address inflation by raising interest rates and other methods. Chafin outlines the short and long-term effects of the plan, expressing skepticism about its effectiveness and suggesting that the government should focus on balancing the federal budget to reduce inflation. Chafin also criticizes the decision to borrow foreign money and sell US gold abroad. He concludes by suggesting that the only way to understand the government's fiscal policies is to take a course in economics from a socialist perspective.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
