To the editor:<\/p>\n
Seems every day I read another criticism from Democrats such as the one today that they are submitting a bill to stop the military from striking the drug-laden boats racing to America with fentanyl poisoning; or fighting ICE for arresting and deporting criminals, some of the worst of the worst; or Maine, Minnesota, California among other blue states who want men to compete in women\u2019s sports.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I believe that everything political parties do should make America better.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then there was the demand to make the Big Beautiful Bill void and add another $1.5 trillion to the cost of government.\u00a0 Democrats shut down government thereby stopping SNAP payments for over 40 million people who need food to eat, cancelled thousands of flights and kept the military from being paid.<\/p>\n
I know our laws are so complex that anything can be fought in court especially if you have friendly judges.\u00a0 Even OJ was found not guilty.\u00a0 But why fight to stop an act that keeps people from being poisoned, arresting criminals? And why make travel painful or allow bullies to play in women\u2019s sports?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Democrats\u2019 main focus seems to be adding more money to our budget for health.\u00a0 Since Obamacare was passed the national expenditure on health has gone from $2.6 trillion to $5 trillion.\u00a0 Our entire federal budget is less than $7 trillion.\u00a0 Maybe we should look at the increase due to government largess and see a private way of doing it instead of lining the pockets of insurance companies and multiplying our debt.\u00a0 Why ignore the fact that letting government manage a benefit sometimes doubles the cost?\u00a0 Just increasing eligibility to Medicaid would have done the same thing as Obamacare at a fraction of the cost.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t get it.\u00a0 What do Democrats stand for?\u00a0 Tell me one thing they promote that would make America better, not just buy more votes.<\/p>\n
