Dear Congressman,

I wonder if there's a possibility I could acquire $1 million from that egregious amount being dished out to big companies, in order to construct my green home for experimentation. I designed an earth berm that's easy to make and will cut costs of maintenance of average homes greatly, and even eliminating certain costs of insurance (since there's no roof, etc...). Quite possibly, if applicable, this home idea could come in large demand if all goes well.

I figure that it's only one million dollars, which is less than 0.015% of the $700 billion being paid out. If construction experiment is a success, it might just be a better investment than the million dollars going to companies that dug their own grave. While it would seem normal to see a rant about how people will be paying off big companies that make their profits off the people, instead of being perpendicular to the situation, I thought I should go parallel and make the best of it. After all, paying the big companies is not going to help, but rather hinder the normal US citizen, so why not use a smidgeon of the amount that may help future housing become an overall plus for the citizen?

I'm just a college student, working on my engineering classes. My mother is an engineer at TLC Engineering, which designs and constructs hospitals, VA clinics, and other medical facilities as their main specialty. I myself have been meticulous in my designs of this future home.

To summarize, I'm seeing the amount of money being decided over and it boggles the mind that it is only going towards establishing a "normalcy" rather than pursuing a futuristic goal which could improve the economy in alternative ways. I'm only asking just a fraction of a percent, with absolute no downside, so why not? And it won't cost a million dollars to make - probably less than a third of the amount as a prototype. Experiments will be conducted, energy use calculated, the whole bit.

Whether you laugh, smile and shake your head, or delete this email without even opening it, I thank you for reading (except for the latter, of course). I'll be paying with taxes either way; I just figure I might as well try and benefit myself and everyone else by proposing something a lot cheaper. If you have any questions of my designs or whatever, feel free to email be back. Thought I'd give it a try, and see if I get any responses. *shrug*

Sincerely, nomnomnomnomom
