Letter: Biden promises better future

By Morris Foutch, Vancouver

News from the Associated Press and White House shows Joe Biden’s accomplishments and election platform: Passage of Inflation Reduction Act of 2020 resulting in increased energy production, increased U.S. manufacturing, reduced carbon emissions, Medicare negotiations authority, extension of the Affordable Care Act by three years, all good news for we Americans. His 2024 platform reduces costs of diabetes prescriptions and improves care for veterans exposed to toxins. My anticlotting drug, Eliquis, is on the Medicare list. Thanks, Joe.

Trump’s platform includes mass deportations, banning Muslims, dismantling the “deep state,” destruction of Department of Education, 10 percent tariffs on imported goods and wreaking “revenge” via his MAGA mob. The question: Do we want Trump’s chaos or do we love and respect what our founders created through a system of constitutional government? If you have doubt about what can happen to nations led by a demagogue, take a look at Germany 1918-1945.
