Dear Editor,
Have the Democrats never heard the difference between WANTS versus NEEDS? They are willing to shut the government down over THEIR WANTS.
We must cut down on government spending and start paying off the government credit card, which is like some $37 trillion. Just like too many people with maxed-out credit cards, the interest is taking a huge chunk out of our government income and keeping our taxes way too high.
The Dems WANT to take care of illegal immigrants who shouldn’t be here in the first place. That is definitely a WANT, not a need. The Democrats WANT to give money to other countries for their problems.
For these WANTS, the Democrats are willing to shut down the government and cost us even more money. I don’t know about you, but I am willing to compromise with the Democrats.
I am willing to let the Democrats have their WANTS if they are willing to tax every Democrat extra to pay for their WANTS. How about that for wanting?
