Are you happy with Democrats in charge?

To the editor:

Is everyone happy in America?

After Obama and under President Trump, we all enjoyed lower gas prices, a good economy, more secure borders, a higher standard of living, good foreign policy, low inflation and no energy crisis. What we didn't have then was a politician as president. We had an arrogant, narcissistic bully businessman for a president.

Today we have pretty much the opposite. We have a career politician who is a documented liar, who only possesses the skills to be re-elected at what ever the cost. In the meantime, he, like most in Congress, has become a millionaire on a near 50-year government salary.

His biography says it is from book deals and speaking engagements. I have listened to him speak. Come on man!

It is not that I want Trump back so much as I want Joe to go. He is killing our country.

Who in their right mind sits on enough oil to run his own country independent of imported oil, and refuses to use it? Then goes to a country that he has sworn off because they murdered an American journalist and have deplorable human rights issues and asks them to increase oil production so his green new deal buddies don't lose face. In the meantime America suffers enormous gas prices that inflate the cost of everything. Everyone suffers!

He does not care about anyone but himself. He blames Putin and the war. Never his own decisions. He does not represent Americans best interest.

The "green new deal" is a sick, woke, joke! Climate change is natural and is real. It is very slow and has been changing since time began. Man will adapt. Seven billion people live on earth. We are but 332 million give or take. Think about that.

Our current inflation problem is real. A Biden made cancer on everyday life. It is a fast moving resurrected reality that has returned after 40 years. It is changeable in capable hands. What a pity, we have no leadership in the Biden administration!

Our majority Democrat congressional leadership has been in competition with Jonny Depp and Amber Heard lately for daytime TV ratings, instead of taking care of the American people. Political theater helps no one! They don't care who crosses the border, who is let out of jail, what is going on with the economy. They just want to keep Trump from running again.

Why does prosperity offend Democrats in Congress? Wealth is good for them, just not for their constituents.

Happy people are hard to control. Poor, oppressed, sick people feeling helpless and looking for aid is the Democrat goal.

Is everyone happy? Not as long as Democrats are in control.
