Letter to the editor: Vice president should be solving problems here, not abroad

I have heard it all now. The vice president of the United States traveled to several foreign countries in an attempt to problem-solve so that their residents won’t want to leave their homeland and enter the United States illegally. Meanwhile, the vice president was voted in to that office by the citizens of the United States. These citizens are attempting to recover from a year-plus of pandemic- related disasters, including personal losses of financial stability and health, and deaths of loved ones.

In other words, our country is in a very fragile state. Unemployed workers are being thrown off unemployment, the labor market is unstable, businesses are closed or closing — the future is not clearly a success story.

But our vice president went to foreign countries to problem-solve there.

The dumbing down of America continues. God help us!
