At least, president working for solutions
Another day another letter or two in this newspaper from writers expressing their disapproval of President Trumps’s policies. They describe these policies as cruel, mean spirited, undemocratic and not who we are as a nation.
Unfortunately, what we are as a nation is over $36 trillion in debt. The payment on the interest is about equal to what our nation budgets for national defense. The debt is increasing, and the status quo is unsustainable. Something has to change.
Hate Trump and his methods all you want to, but at least he is trying to solve a problem. How high does the debt have to be before you believe that something should be done? Obviously $36 trillion in debt is acceptable to Trump haters. Is $50 trillion? Is $75 trillion acceptable? What is your red line?
The last time the federal budget was balanced was 30 years ago. It’s now time for Congress to balance the budget again. Our country has gotten drunk on deficit spending. The hangover will be difficult and painful. We are feeling some of that pain now.
Democrats need to work with Trump for the betterment of our nation. I know that I’m dreaming because Trump haters would rather burn Teslas and call Trump a Nazi than work with him. Trump maybe playing golf, but the Trump haters are the ones setting Teslas on fire.
