Americans going around in circles....

 

Dear Editor:

 

Americans going around in circles

 


 Most people I speak with are disgusted with our current leadership at all levels:  Federal, State and Local governments.  Despite former Pres. Trump's immense ego and inability to get along with most legislators, Democrats or Republicans, and despite that so many Americans are divided and too many filled with hatred, he did many good things.  According to many people, Trump is all bad and he made our nation worse than it is today.

I have to disagree with these people.  I am not pro Democrat nor Republican.  I believe I am more middle-grounded than either of these.  I have seen more chaos and more of our freedoms threatened under the current Biden Administration than during Trump's presidency.  During the current administration, I have witnessed government gaining more control over the populace via devious and various underhanded means.

Furthermore, more Americans, more than ever are in debt and more have become homeless.  It is documented that average Americans have debt of $150,000, which includes mortgages and credit card debt.  With sky-high daily cost of living ever increasing, very few are debt-free.  Costs are rising weekly.  These include:  health insurance, interest rates, home & auto insurance, gas and oil costs; the list goes on.   American legislators, however, are getting consistently wealthier.  Special interests control these legislators.

One thing Americans may do to offset these issues is to vote-in new blood and thereby eliminating many, if not all, of the current band of legislative brigands.  It won't change things overnight, but we didn't get to this point in our history immediately either.  Change begins with the first step, so please take it now.  Be verbal and communicate your disapproval by writing to your legislators and to the media, just as I am doing.  It makes a difference, perhaps slowly…but surely.
