To the Editor:

I am so confused. Republicans were always the fiscal conservative, no-taxes party. Yet, today the news broke that the debt has now reached $39.5 trillion and our current president is responsible for 28% of that total. What did we get for that huge increase in the national debt?

  • An unwanted and unsupported war in Iran threatening the global economy

  • Raging inflation and stagnant wages

  • Sky-high gas prices

  • Unaffordable housing and foreclosures 30% higher than two years ago

  • Blatant corruption by our president and his cronies

  • Millions of Americans kicked off health insurance

  • Americans killed in our streets by masked thugs calling themselves ICE

  • School kids going hungry

But thank goodness Trump has made $2 billion and is busy making America great again.
