I find it hard to believe that every letter to the editor and every editorial is negative on the actions President Trump has been taking.
Doesn't anyone in this community realize what has been happening to their money? Your dollar today is worth 28% of what it was worth in 1980. That's just 45 years! Our country has been going broke because they have been spending more than they have been collecting and the way they adjust for that is through inflation. The Fed has us all convinced that a 2% inflation rate would be good — a 2% inflation rate means your dollar will lose 21.9% in value every 10 years. We should be sending a thank you.
The president is the first one to take some definitive action to reduce the size of our government. We have way more government than we can afford and it has to be stopped or we will all go broke. The government had 2.3 million employees — reducing that is a gargantuan task — and some mistakes will be made, but they can be corrected.
We should be supporting the effort to get our spending under control. It is the only thing that will bring inflation under control. So unless you liker a rapidly devaluing of your dollar you better wake up.
