May 20, 2020: Many thanks to Mr. Trump * Letters to the Editor * Del Rio News-Herald
Letter
to the Editor,
Many
thanks to Mr. Trump
How
many of us have sent President Trump a thank you note for the stimulus relief
check that we all received?
President
Trump could have easily vetoed the CARES Act, given that it is a $2 trillion
albatross overburdening and overstressing the once great economic boom that he
had previously overseen.
The
economy was the crowning achievement of the Trump Administration; with all
sectors seeing tremendous growth and success, with record low unemployment
throughout the country, with a spirit of financial confidence and optimism
rising gloriously in the population who had previously been forlorn and thought
to be forgotten.
He
signed the bill even though it contained frivolous pork demanded by the
Democratic Party for their pet projects which had nothing to do with the
COVID-19 crisis:
$25 million for the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts;
$75 million for the National Endowment for the Arts, which has funded
exhibitions including a photograph of a crucifix submerged in a jar of urine
and an American flag on the floor encouraging museum visitors to step on the
flag;
relaxed regulatory approval rules for sunscreen ingredients, even though
some Democratic state governors have closed their state beaches;
and funding
for free video conferencing visits for prison inmates although prisoners were
being released for fear that the virus would spread in confined quarters, yet
the Democratic governors in blue states mandated that nursing home residents
who tested positive must be allowed to return, instead of quarantining them
away from the most vulnerable residents.
However,
in spite of negative factors, President Trump signed the measure because it
contained many positive measures that would help all Americans, because he
truly cares for all Americans.
He
followed the advice of the leading medical and scientific experts to lockdown
the country, intentionally devastating the economy to protect and safeguard
what was predicted to be millions of lives.
If you
haven’t thanked Mr. Trump yet, you can thank him on November 3.
I’m
sure he would appreciate your “Thank you” vote for him.
