Letters To Editor

The correct choice

Dear Editor, Once again, we have a major election approaching. We read the same comments from the same people about Pres. Trump; everything is under scrutiny that he says or does. He has spoken things many wish had not been said, but when one gets to the nitty gritty of his term, “actions speak louder than words,” he has tried to accomplish what he said he would, and with all the problems thrown at him, he has done fairly well. We have two groups that are diametrically opposed, the destructives and the restorers. I have respect for a president that will align himself with ...

‘We can’t afford socialism’

Dear Editor, Neither Democrats nor Republicans can afford the socialism we already have. Adding more socialist spending is absurd. The National Debt (ND) is $23 trillion. This year: spending – revenue = $1 trillion added to the national debt. Spending must be cut not increased. In our budget, mandatory spending consumes 61%, most of which is Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Additionally, at present rates, interest on the ND is 8%. Defense spending is 15%. Only about 16% is left for discretionary spending. SS and health care expenses are a juggernaut growing ...

An observation

Dear Editor, Although I’m not a resident of the City of Warren I, like many other non-residents, contribute to the economy of Warren on a daily basis. Why is it imperative to have a Round-About at the intersection of Market Street and Pennsylvania Avenue West? A state of the art traffic signal would suffice according to most of us who travel through that intersection. Even slight modifications to turning lanes would also be beneficial. The response to this question will be most interesting. Sincerely, M.J. Shanshala, Warren

‘Under your radar’

Dear Editor, This letter is not for the 45% of the American people who have made up their minds that our current President and his toe-sucking Administration is off the rails. Nor is it designed for those 45% of the American people who see this same President and his Administration as anointed by God. It IS directed to the remaining 10% who will be making up their minds this coming November as to whom they choose to protect themselves and their children from an onslaught of attacks on our air, water, and turf for the foreseeable future and beyond. There are currently 95, ...

Finding common ground

Dear Editor, There is a poison running wild in Washington and I don’t mean Trump. I’m referring to those who are called “Conservatives” and “Liberals.” Watching the impeachment hearings/trial and the Democratic debates have shown me that Barnum and Bailey are no longer the king of the circus and they certainly don’t have the market on the clowns. We are in serious trouble my fellow Americans and the sad part is that after the November election it’s not gonna be any better regardless of who you vote for. If you think ANY political party is going to act in or serve ...

‘The Swamp’

Dear Editor, Donald J. Trump stated emphatically that he alone was going to “drain the swamp” in Washington, DC. That “swamp” will soon engulf the entire White House, and significant parts of Congress and the Senate. Now the Attorney General is stuck in the mud. The “alligators and snakes” are taking over the swamp at the expense of we the “birds, turtles, and other wild life.” It’s time to let the “trappers” throughout our country harvest the “alligators and snakes” to restore the swamp to a manageable environment. What Trump didn’t accomplish we ...
