Letter: Here’s the real problem with America


One can sum up the real problem in our country with one word — Republican! President Barack Obama has only been in office one year, and Republicans are trying to convince people that he has created this mess.

Have you forgotten that it was President George W. Bush and the Republicans who got us into this mess? Remember, when Bush took office, we had the largest surplus in our nation’s history — and they gave it away. The rich got it. If it were up to Republicans, you wouldn’t have Social Security or Medicare. Republicans won’t even go along with extending unemployment benefits for the millions that they put out of work. But, when have Republicans done anything for a working person? Now, why in the world would you want to put any Republican back in office? Anyone who votes for a Republican, after what they have done to our country, needs to go hungry. Do you have sucker written on your forehead? You must have.

During President Obama’s first year, Republicans have worked overtime to keep him from getting anything done that would help fix this mess that they made. It will take years to repair the damage that’s been done to our nation. If you think President Obama can fix it in one year, then you are living in a dream world. The Party of No (Republican Party) did us in.

Finally, remember it was the Republican Party that gave tax cuts to companies, closed up shop in America and took your job to a foreign country.
