Dear Editor:

Gas prices over 60 percent above two years ago nationwide with some places even double two years ago. Food costs up double digits, with many items even much more. Utility bills ever climbing with the winter heating months just ahead. Health care providers at an all time minimum, with appointments harder and harder to make. Home health care workers for the disabled extremely hard to find since they are paid less than fast food workers despite a promise to raise home health care workers wages day one from our President. Police staffing way down, with slashed budgets in many cities nationwide. Many fine men and women quitting policing due to lack of support by their states attorneys. Crime up in so many places, with criminals’ rights far outweighing the victims. So many people out of the workforce sitting at home collecting government handouts, with little or no intention of returning to work. Huge delays for parts and services for your car or home or products. Little help in the stores, with one or two clerks trying to do the work of four or five. Inflation at a 40-year high. The list goes on and on.

There is one common denominator all of these problems have in common, they have taken place since the take over of the nation by the Democratic Party. They have the power to fix the problems, yet they have just added more debt and watched as the nation spirals into a third world economy. Spin, spin, spin goes the top if you listen to the Democrats all is ok and getting better, apparently they live in ivory towers.They say just wait, vote for me, and I will fix it. We will spend our way out of debt.

Your electric bill and gas bill and water bill and interest rates on credit cards are going to get better the Democrats say, just stick it out a few more years and vote for us to fix it. Wind and solar and electric cars will solve all the problems, even if massive increases in electric vehicles will crash the already over loaded antiquated electrical grid. The border is wide open, and illegal immigrants walk right in by the millions and disappear, but according to our President the border is secure, and we can easily absorb millions of illegals. Our border CZAR Vice President Harris has yet to visit the southern border and see for herself the effect of her party’s policies.

If you listen to the Democrats, it is all COVID’s fault or Putin’s fault, not anything Democratic policies affected. If you believe all that, by all means vote Democratic. If you do not believe those fairy tales, by all means vote Republican. No matter what, please exercise your right as a citizen and vote while it is still a citizen’s right to vote before that is changed to anyone in the country legally or illegally, citizen or not. God bless America and make it great again.
