Letter to the editor: Facts on Joe Biden's platform

Instead of what I see as the constant biased CNN untruths and the conspiracy theories, let’s look at some facts.

Joe Biden is promising (according to his website and the DNC platform) all of the following — none of which were done in the 40-plus years he has been in Washington, including eight as vice president.

1. Biden is essentially in favor of the Green New Deal, siding with Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a move that would cripple the energy sector, put hundreds of thousands of people (many in Pennsylvania) out of jobs, and probably increase prices on gas, electricity and oil.

2. He has stated that undocumented immigrants should have government (free?) health care.

3. He vowed to stop deportations of illegal immigrants except those convicted of felonies.

4. He is in favor of studying reparations. Tell me again why my grandchildren should pay for the actions of someone else’s great-great-great-great-grandparents. This could cost unknown billions.

5. He wants to eliminate the cash bail system. How is that working out in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, etc.?

6. He wants to forgive student loans, which would cost trillions over the years.

7. He wants to name Beto O’Rourke — who famously said “Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.” — to “take care of the gun problem with me.”

8. He has no problem terminating a child’s life.

If your hatred of President Trump supersedes this list, I really feel sorry for you, the children and this great nation.
