LETTER: Don’t blame Biden for all our problems

In response to the recent letter “Biden’s damage”:

Every time a new issue comes to light, a lot of people blame President Joe Biden. Why? A president does not control everything in this country. Yes, he sets policies on trade and certain controls on businesses, but he does not control the day-to-day operations of business.

The writer implies that the recent baby food shortage is Mr. Biden’s fault. That’s ridiculous. The formula companies had contamination problems and then transportation issues. How is that the president’s fault?

We need to place blame on the appropriate sources when problems arise and not quickly put the blame on Mr. Biden, who has no control over the issue. This applies to other issues such as gasoline and grocery prices and rent control. The president has no magic wand he can use to change prices. It just does not work that way.

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.
