Letter to the editor: Before voting, ask yourself if you're happy with ...

I pose a simple question to our voters: Are you happy with the following?

1. Soaring costs of necessities such as groceries, gasoline, utilities and housing.

2. China’s purchase of huge swaths of U.S. real estate such as farmland — some reported in proximity to U.S. military installations.

3. Unsecure borders where illegal immigrants and drugs such as fentanyl pour into our country unimpeded.

4. The abject failure of our public school system where the comparative worldwide achievement level ranks at the bottom while funding ranks at the top.

5. The anarchy in our cities where police are attacked and vilified, and rioting runs rampant. And to add fuel to the fire, fake news describes the mayhem as mostly peaceful!

6. The hiring of 87,000 additional IRS employees — how about hiring 87,000 additional police officers or border guards? Big brother must be smiling!

7. The inability or reluctance to reveal the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop computer.

If you are happy with the above, vote Democrat. If you are not, vote Republican.
