It’s about America, not you

Dear Editor:                                    Many in the House and Senate need to realize this is about American, not them, and their morally corrupt political parties. They are paid high wages to work for America in a fair, sensible, and godly way.  That is not what we are getting for our money now! The safety of America should be the most important thing to our legislators. Is there any common sense left in city mayors and state governors?  What has happened to the education systems across America that turns out such irresponsible leaders?  These leaders cannot take care of their own, yet…

Government Pay Days – Scary Future

by Glenn Mollette  Federal employees working without pay have recently been admonished. We have heard they could borrow money to tide them over. People have said federal workers should have a reserve fund for government shutdowns. Our own massive government doesn’t have a rainy day fund. With our 22 trillion-dollar debt we can’t pay our own workers. If we borrow money as a nation, we borrow it from our own people who are now not even earning a check. We have borrowed about 3 trillion dollars from our Social Security fund thus far. Our government also wants to scale these…
