Trump economy a huge bright spot for the nation

In his Thursday letter to the editor, “Unpopular president,” Pat Sutherland states that the Trump administration’s accomplishments have been “pathetically few.” That may be true, but his accomplishments have had a huge impact on this country, especially economically.

Contrast that to the eight years of former president Barack Obama. Not only were there very few accomplishments, they impacted our nation — for the most part — in a very negative way. In fact, the only thing Mr. Obama pretty much accomplished was running this country’s debt up $9.3 trillion.

Remember the words of the infamous James Carville, who served under Bill Clinton. Those words were “It’s the economy, stupid.” That’s pretty plain and simple, straight to the point and certainly relevant presently.

LETTER: Biden ignores the Supreme Court on student loans

Biden is constantly harping on how Trump is a threat to democracy and will be a dictator, eliminating our freedoms. It is Biden, however, who has proven himself the dictator who is threatening democracy.

LETTER: More on 1968

As a cop who was at not only at the 1968 Democratic convention at the Conrad Hilton on Michigan Avenue, but also the Chicago arson fires on the west side, I feel there were many reasons why the city was a tinderbox.

LETTER: Clark County cracks down on street vendors

A lot of us walk or jog in the summer nights when it cools down. The juice vendor was a wonderful break before starting the return half of our exercise. Alas, never more.
