Correspondence between Mrs. Kay R. McKee and Congressman James R. Jones Regarding Rent Increases and Inflation, 1978-11-21

Mrs. Kay R. McKee wrote a letter to Congressman James R. Jones expressing concern about rent increases affecting people on fixed incomes. She believes that rent controls are necessary to prevent landlords from profiteering and suggests that legislation should be introduced to aid tenants. Congressman Jones responds sympathetically, but does not believe rent controls are the solution to inflation. He believes the main cause of inflation is deficit spending by the federal government and advocates for balanced budgets and government restraint as a solution. He offers further assistance if needed.
