Letters to the Editor

So now Democrats are worried about a deficit?

A prominent objection from Democrats to the current income tax legislation has been that it will add more than $1 trillion to the national debt by the end of the next decade.

Amazing, isn’t it, that they were not the least bit worried during President Obama’s presidency as he doubled the debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in only eight years?

I’m sure glad that Democrats are such consistent and logical people.
