LETTER: Pondering political promises from Republicans and Democrats

Outrage pay and benefits for public officials.

Less talk, more action to stop it.

Don’t ignore the Constitution.

Little punishment, no deterrence

The folly of defund the police.

Socialism may have nothing to do with it.

The United States depriving opportunity.

And there was no looting!

Check with the secretary of state.

We are being government by people who aren’t giving it much thought.
