Dear Editor,
It's mildly humorous to read the preeminent name-callers complain about name-calling! Efforts to blow smoke and "prove" the economy is doing great are equally laughable. When the Obama administration launched its reign, the national debt was $10.6 trillion; now it's $18.4 and still rising. GDP growth for this year is an anemic 2.0 percent and continues the slowest recovery ever from a depression. Income inequality has increased under this administration and the official poverty rate is 14.5%. Only 63.4% of the population own homes, a 48 year low. The labor participation rate is 62.6%, another 40-year low. Over 93 million have dropped out of the labor force entirely. They crow about jobs "created or saved" but millions more have been forced into part time positions. Wages are down and net worth is down so it's no wonder that food stamps and other types of government assistance are up to record levels. Naturally, they want to talk about anything other than Democrat policies and this Democrat administration's failures. Unless you're looking for more of the same, be very careful with your vote next year. After seven years, it's time for them to stop living in the past and take accountability for the present.
Sincerely,
Bill Garvin
