There was a time when George Alger penned cogent, well-thought, informative letters to the editor. But since he has gone full MAGA he toes the Trump line as he, in a near apoplectic fit, rails about liberals.
Now I'm sure Mr. Alger has stopped reading as he forms his response to say I have Trump Derangement Syndrome ... and he's right. It drives me crazy that those I once felt had intelligence, principles and integrity could fall for an amoral conman like Trump, which show another type of TDS, Trump Delusional Syndrome.
The economy is outpacing Trump's. The stock market has surpassed the record high of Trump's term, a factor Mr. Alger said was an indicator of good governance and now he refuses to even give any credit to the current president's policies. He then says inflation is high when it is now only one point higher than under Trump. Unemployment is lower than under Trump and the Fed is about to lower interest rates.
Then Mr. Alger says prices are high. I will give him that — even though gas and groceries are coming down everywhere but California. That's a topic for another time, something I would agree with Mr. Alger about. But since corporations are making record profits, their interest rates are at pre-pandemic levels and yet they are not reducing prices. Do you believe the government should tell businesses what they can and can't charge? How does that square with the "free market" of which you're so enamored.
You blame Biden for the immigration "crisis" while Republicans have fought any proposal put to Congress, even ones they proposed in rare bipartisanship with Democrats only to back out when Trump threatens their power.
Last but not least Mr. Alger despairs about Biden's "dementia" when 1) The Republican hero Ronald Reagan had it and you think he did so well (I disagree), and 2) Have you even listened to the derailed thought train of Donald Trump?
Republicans say Trump says what they want to say. Am I to conclude you believe all those at the border are "rapists, drug dealers, murderers" though some, you suppose, are good people?
A little over a hundred years ago so-called "real Americans" were saying the same things about the Irish and Italians.
Finally, Mr. Alger, do you believe liberals are "vermin" and do you plan to go hunting when your messiah calls you to arms?
'Corporations are making "record profits", the stock market is "going up", and everything in rich-mans-land is going great...all because of the Biden's policies.' Meanwhile, when it comes to fuel and food prices, 'it is the fault of "corporate greed" that has nothing to do with Biden's policies.'. How can Democrats complain about corporate profit while they brag about their increased stock values? The government controls prices during declared emergencies with its new "price gouging" law and has set limits on how much consumers can be charged for everything they buy. Since emergency declarations are the new normal, this law is in effect more than it is not. Regarding illegal immigration, when is Biden going to do something about it besides begging for funds to process illegals into the country faster and provide them with services that ignore the needs of Americans? The high prices are not predicted to come down to pre-Biden levels enough to say his policies are a benefit for working Americans. If things were going well, the Democrats wouldn't have to lie and tell us how great things are for middle class and poorer Americans.
The economy is humming along, showing solid growth. The stock market is hitting record territory, helping people's 401k's. Inflation is coming under control. What's not to like there?

I haven't seen so much stupid in 1 letter since scott taylors last letter. Anybody that thinks biden is doing a good job is delusional.
