Dear Editor, I am a Democrat. I’m retired (never worked harder), so I’ve seen decades of the results of politics and government. The Democratic Party consistently proposes and supports the policies I believe will make America a better and stronger nation. I now have irrefutable proof that I have been correct.
Republicans take the stance that opposing their ideas is some sort of “derangement syndrome.” I have a different definition of what is “deranged.” It’s deranged to think America will be made better by opposing having easy access to health care and education. Republicans take every opportunity to undermine Americans having such access. Republicans voted over 60 times to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Their new funding bill allows funding to lapse, throwing millions off health care, and worse, flooding our Emergency Rooms to the point Hospitals will be forced to shut down. Over 130 rural hospitals have shut their doors since Trump first took office, many of them in Texas.
Trump and Project 2025 are determined to end public education, allowing only the most elite to have access. Vouchers? How funded? If by property taxes, like is currently the case for education, how long before property owners vote to have the education part of their taxation ended?
