We need real change and it's on the way
In reply to Karen Swanson's letter (Nov. 9) where she said everything is going to fall apart because Barack Obama is a socialist.
Where have you been? Everything has fallen apart with this Bush administration, and you still want more of the same?
She didn't go into detail how Obama was going to turn our country to socialism, just a definition of the word from your Webster dictionary.
We do have socialism in this country and for many years. What do you call Social Security, welfare, Medicare and Medicaid? What do you call that stimulus check you get from the government that we all wait anxiously for?
What do call that $700 billion bailout?
We need change. These good old boys from Washington need to change their ways of thinking.
It is the same old politics with Republicans. No regulation, tax cuts for the wealthy, small government. Sounds like Reaganomics to me.
It just doesn't work, especially that so-called trickle- down effect.
Granted, a lot of people do not like change, but it is time. The majority of the American people have spoken.
Karen said she was going to sit back and watch everything fall apart. So sit back, eat your sour grapes, and watch.
Watch health care and college become more affordable. Watch prosperity be restored. Watch the tax system finally become more fair for working families. Watch our country become free of oil dependence. Watch the world become our friends once again. And watch our great troops finally come home.
