Letter to the editor: Illogical actions harming our country
Nothing is real anymore, and everything is illusory.
We can’t have a border fence, but we can have a razor-wire fence around our Capitol.
We have to wear masks and social distance, but we allow infected illegal immigrants to be caught and released back into society.
We have a trillion of unspent funds from the last coronavirus relief package, but we have to pass an additional $1.9 trillion, with much of it going to special interests.
We claim to respect women’s rights but allow men identifying as women to compete in female sports with an unfair advantage.
Iran is the leading supporter of terrorism in the world, attacking our troops in Syria. Still, the current administration has released $3 billion of funds previously tied up by the former president’s sanctions.
We elect representatives to Congress, but in all actuality, a handful of people make decisions by using tactics (reconciliation) to circumvent the opposition party.
Lastly, we are trillions in debt but spend trillions that our children and grandchildren will have to pay back one way or another.
These actions are illogical, irresponsible, harmful to our nation and primarily supported by one political party. Remember this the next time you vote. There’s no way this ends well for anybody.
