LETTER: Biden’s great bait and switch

Mark Twain is credited with remarking that: “If voting mattered, they wouldn’t let us do it”. Unfortunately, the 2020 presidential election proved him wrong. The electorate tried to elect a moderate who would cool the political climate. Talk about “bait and switch.”

Anyway, we are now in the midst of the greatest socialist experiment of the nation’s long history. Transformative, as the socialists say.

Because we are stuck, pending a leadership change, I suggest we savor the situation. Never forget that government spending of newly created money devalues our currency and raises consumer prices. Understand that removing work incentives with freshly printed money creates a dependent society as well as a scarcity of goods and services.

Make a promise to prove Mark Twain wrong. He’d be pleased.

LETTER: Columbia kids need to learn to pay their own way

Frankly, if I had kids at Columbia who participated in these “protests,” I’d yank them out of school, toss their stuff onto the lawn and tell them to get a job, go live in the real world and pay your own way.

LETTER: Here’s the real threat to democracy

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
