Letter: Plenty of frustrations

The Columbian
Published: January 11, 2013, 4:00pm

I could write a letter to the editor every day because of all of the nonsense that is going on in this country. Because I cannot, here is my list.

o Fiscal cliff: Elected lawmakers acted like children at the expense of the people who elected them.

o Debt ceiling: See above.

o Assault weapons: In the hands of “rednecks,” go figure.

o Concealed weapons in public places: See above.

o Armed teachers: What does that tell our children about our society?

o Liquor taxes: a fraud on the voters. Just charge the normal state sales tax.

o Voters — continually re-electing buffoons to political office .

o David Madore: No bridge? Get real. No tolls? Try the commute for once. I did for 40 years. Also, building it will create jobs, and manufacturers will look at Clark County, knowing their trucks will not be tied up in traffic jams.

o Gas prices: How many times must these hikes occur before the public demands an investigation?

1o Dysfunction in the U.S. Senate: 60 votes to pass anything. Filibusters. A total joke.

Oh well, we all know absolutely nothing will change. Passive voters, corrupt politicians — it is just a continual merry-go-round. We reap what we sow.
