It’s obvious our problems are caused by liberals

To the editor:

This is a reply to Eric Becht’s letter in the March 29 Sentinel.

The stupidity of the left is not knowing government is our Republic’s Achilles heel! The White House is the “policy” tap that can change the markets. The problem is the idiot with his hand on that tap thinks its only for re-election. He has never had a real job in 50 years! He knows nothing but politics! God forbid we lose the dollar as the World currency via Biden’s weakness and inept character. What about being the “Big Guy” in the secret deal with China for Cobalt in Africa? Cobalt is used in batteries. I wonder what the connection to the Green New Deal is? He was a documented liar when he started in politics and cannot be trusted!

Mr. Becht how naive you are. To make this statement proves beyond any doubt who is brainwashed and unable to think for themselves:

“I know that all you right wing propaganda zealots love to blame Biden and the Dems for inflation and high gas prices but there is no denying that these are, as per the desires of all us capitalists, a function of the markets and not the government. Unless of course, you would prefer, we nationalize these industries so that the president can dictate what these formerly private companies must do to make sure that your precious 15 mpg, $45,000 truck doesn’t cost you a dime more to fill.”

Who Mr. Becht spends enormous amounts of money in our economy? According to you government is in a void and absolved from the markets. What about government defense spending, government employment (federal-state-local), contracts and subsidies of every kind — the largest single spender of all. Who does the market watch more than government to see what is to be bought? Who reacts to every policy decision made at the White House? Why are there so many lobbyists in D.C.? Every “market” in the USA and around the world that’s who! They are joined at the hip!

Now, who wants more government? Who advocates for more government? You, Mr. Becht and progressive liberals! You have it backwards! Quit looking at the ground for what government dropped for you and look where you’re going!

How do people in Congress get so rich? They know where your tax money is to be spent! They have advance market information on IPOs. They follow the money and markets and not for your benefit but for theirs! Greed is a bipartisan government sickness.

Since you brought it up again. I can count on one hand the number of people I know who advocate for men in women’s sports. No one I know has ever advocated to change the laws of nature. It is completely unfair to let less than 1% of our population influence or compel 99% of the population to change nature and biological facts. Trying to change social values and what most people feel is moral, is a travesty!

You can’t put 7 billion people on earth and not have environmental problems. Global warming is for real. The Green New Deal is stupid on its face. It is not realistic. Think Henry Ford trying to figure out how to put a radio or dual heating zones in a Model T. They were not invented yet! You have to get the car running first. Build roads and add gas stations as needed. In short let markets and need evolve. Forcing energy policy and spending wildly is not the answer. Panic (the progressive hammer) is made for those who want profit above all. The best answers to all environmental issues with green ideas are not here yet. It will come. From an innovative business or individual and not from government, and certainly not from the fool Biden! Think, someone like Gutenberg, Tesla, Edison or Jobs.

What about Putin and Trump? If they were so close why didn’t Putin invade Ukraine when Trump was in office? Because Trump would have stood up to him and kicked him in more than his assets. Biden is incompetent and weak! It is obvious to everyone but sheep!

Joe must go in ’24!
