LETTER: Where are the adults in the Senate?

I cannot believe that people blame President Joe Biden for their problems. In his Saturday letter, Mike Eckman blames Bidenomics for the price of a new truck. Did he not hear about the recent auto strike? What did he think was going to happen? It’s just like Culinary workers and fast-food workers. Everyone wants more money. Something has to give.

I live on Social Security. I bought a new house and a new car. But I live within my means. I don’t begrudge anybody buying a truck, but there are lots of new cars you can buy in the $20,000 to $30,000 range.

Americans are entitled. I know a couple who said they could not live in a 1,200 square-foot house because it was too small. A homeless person would be happy with that.

I just read a story about a veteran who said he couldn’t make payments on his $51,000 Ram truck at $1,500 a month. He also has a mortgage and a brand new Harley Davidson motorcycle. He’s disabled and gets almost $4,000 a month. That’s ludicrous. Whose fault is that?

Please don’t complain. Enjoy your life. Nobody needs more stress.

In my company, like so many others, all my employees get paid first and before I get paid. It would appear this is not true for the federal government.

I keep listening to the Democrats whining about the Republicans not being willing to negotiate to fund our country.

Robert H. Ferguson Las Vegas

Here they go again. Gov. Joe Lombardo has announced a legislative special session and the unions immediately started beating the drum for massive tax incentives for the TV and film industry.

LETTER: High-speed rail boondoggle
Alan B. Van Ees Las Vegas

This seems to me as good a reason as any to cancel this boondoggle.
