Letter: Americans deserve better leadership


Who made this mess? Clearly, it belongs to federal officials, the president and Congress. What have they done right? The war, free trade tax cuts, mandates, the stock market, banking, business regulations and protecting citizens. The result of mistakes in all these areas is a decaying economy. Money is flowing up to a few and the rest is flowing out of the country. Jobs are disappearing, exports are shrinking and imports are booming. States are in dire financial trouble, borders are open wide — and on and on.

Federal politicians need a wake-up call. The American people and this country deserve better leadership.

Have voters elected fools to lead them? It appears they have and the fools must be voted out of office. Let’s hope America can survive until then. They just don’t get it.
