I watched President Biden’s State of the Union address and Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ response. OK, majority House Republicans, where is the platform you’ll use to make great changes?
We are coming back from a major issue that almost left our country undone. You complain and yell “We have the answers,” so tell me the answers you have. Let’s hear what you are going to do for better jobs, health care, prescription costs, the environment — the list is endless.
I am retired and don’t want you to make huge cuts in Social Security or Medicare, which I and my past employers dutifully paid into. So in theory, it’s my money.
I volunteer for an organization that helps people in need, so I have some firsthand knowledge of how bad it can get. Do I feel that D.C. is doing all it can to help? No from all sides.
All of you, stop the childish “I’ll take my ball and go home” attitude. Our forefathers had issues and things they wished for, but, in the end, compromise won. So let’s do more compromise and less childish bickering.
Watch what they do or don’t do. Our way to change things — our “job review” — is at the ballot box.
