Letter to the editor: Trump won't 'make America great again'

Make America great again? That’s a joke. People believe that garbage. Not one politician seems to want to do anything about our national debt. President Joe Biden is raising interest rates to lower President Donald Trump’s inflation. Taxes need to be raised to pay for government operation and to lower debt. But everybody wants everything for nothing.

I predict Republicans will be running the show with a majority in both houses. Trump will be the next president because people think he actually can “save” America. His campaign will be, “When I was president, my economy and stock market were the greatest.”

We have the greatest national debt, an inverted yield curve on treasuries and are on the verge of having our currency replaced as the world currency.

Trump’s tax breaks for the very rich are adding to our national debt. A lot of companies pay hardly any taxes. So who will get their taxes raised? Most of the rich don’t pay much in taxes now. Cut government services? Republicans already want to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

Trump will probably lower interest rates, and inflation will go through the roof. People will pay for inflation or pay more for servicing our national debt.

Trump can make people feel better with his lies. Who cares?
