Letter to the Editor:

DEMOCRATS DON’T CARE ABOUT THE POOR

Over the last six plus decades the purchasing power of the dollar has lost 50% of its purchasing power each decade. Sixty years ago dad could support a family of ten, now mom and dad have a hard time of supporting a family of five.

Now let’s take a look and see just how well Washington and the Democratic Party are screwing us really well. In 2006 we had triple the amount of currency, M1, M2, M3, and all the other forms, in the system than we had in the system in 1991. In 2007 we had two or three times the amount of money in the system than we had in 2000 or 2001. Today we have two to three times, again, the amount of currency we had in the system in 2008. That includes the six trillion in new debt, that became currency that was added in President Obama’s first term, which gave birth to the Tea Party.

More millions of the poor have been pulled up from the dregs of poverty with the capitalistic free enterprise system than with any other institution, ever. The left is pulling that system apart with more taxes and regulation. That also will continue the lowering of our standard of living.

There is a Washington solution, cut the spending down to a level that can be paid for each year. That includes an initial cut of 10% of my monthly social security check. That will raise the value of the dollar increasing my spending power. The only way that we can halt rising price levels is to reduce the public debt with less spending.

As a former farm boy I know two things about pigs. 1) they think only of themselves and 2) they’re smart. Joni Ernst says that she has castrated pigs. Joni says that she knows how to make them squeal. We need Joni Ernst in the U.S. Senate in order to make them politicians squeal.
