LETTER: Aching for Joe Biden

Updated September 2, 2025 - 11:55 am

When Joe Biden and Kamala Harris left office, America had the strongest economy in 20 years, praised by economists around the world. They handed over a thriving economy to Mr. Trump, and voters — including in Vegas — chose to roll the dice on him. Now, instead of facing the truth, people are pointing fingers — at businesses, at tourists, at anything but the real cause. But the real blame is simple: Just look at the inflation, the downturn and the person voters put in charge of our economy.
