LETTER: It’s the last thing that we should do

Regarding Jonah Goldberg’s Monday column “GOP got a free pass on government shutdown”: Mr. Goldberg cites a Fox News poll that found 51 percent of respondents blamed Trump, 34 percent blamed Democrats, 9 percent blamed everyone involved and “only” 3 percent blamed the Republicans. The Republicans got a free pass! No, not at all.

A majority of the public blames the president and the Republicans for the shutdown because they collaborated. But the poll made them choose between the two. Had it asked whether or not the Democrats, Republicans or both were to blame, the results would have been Democrats 34 percent, Republicans 54 percent and 9 percent both parties.

Don’t let the big corporations tell you your life would be better without big government regulation or laws. I have been there and done that.

Can’t be near a park, can set up for only 30 minutes. Hard to make money with those stipulations.

It’s with a very heavy heart that I received news that the greatest ball player of all time and an ambassador of the game has been brought up to the major leagues at the age of 93.
