Letter to the editor: We need leaders who will heal our country

Our country’s problems today are so significant and far-reaching that we need to put in office only leaders whose policies would help heal our country.

It now costs our typical family about $600 more a month for food, gas, housing and utilities than when President Biden took office in 2020, and this inflation has caused people’s retirement savings in the stock market to drop over 20% so far. Primary causes of uncontrolled inflation are the overspending and increased debt of the federal government and the Democrats’ stated goal of eliminating the need for fossil fuels.

Crime in the streets and shooting of police are frightening, blatant and said to be largely caused by the radical left’s call for defunding the police and the premature release of hardened criminals. Drug and child trafficking across the southern border became an ongoing crisis when the present administration reversed President Trump’s border policing policies and border wall construction.

And many military experts believe that Putin would not have attacked Ukraine had the USA not shown weakness withdrawing from Afghanistan and reacted earlier to the buildup of Russian troops on the Ukraine border.

So, before you cast your vote, you might want to consider which political party triggered all these frightening situations.
