Stop sending borrowed money to other nations

For decades, we have given borrowed money and materials to other countries. Today, we have our brave soldiers stationed in more than 100 countries.

American voters will replace politicians who fail us

This is an open letter to all politicians, local, county, state and national. I belong to the largest unincorporated group in the world. I'm a voter in the United States of America.

See where House, Senate, presidential fingers point

I am writing this short letter in response to Bill Masterson Jr.'s Jan. 3 column about simple tax reform. Masterson mentions finger-pointing by the "president and Congress."

Learn about trilateral bid to control world power

In response to F. Marc Ruiz's recent columns on modern monetary theory:

Think of the harm from politicians' harebrained ideas

It never ceases to amaze me as to how stupid our governors, mayors and all politicians are. To vote for airports in Peotone, Ill. when there are at least 10 to 15, all in the general area, which are all usable in emergencies such as the one Oct. 31, 1994, in Roselawn.

Election should show politicians they need to compromise

The election should tell a very important story to the politicians. The election was almost split down the middle. That tells me that nobody is happy with either party.

Chicago-style politics is shorthand for bad government

Official misconduct, dishonest politicians, fraudulent voting practices, deceitful representatives, corrupt politics, unscrupulous bureaucrats, devious legislators, crooked officials, etc.

The difference between Democrats Republicans

I recently asked my friend's little girl what she wanted to be when she grew up. She said she wanted to be president of the United States.

I disagree with socialism, liberalism, wherever they come from

Lesson for you. In 2006 the Democrats took control over both houses of Congress. Until then the economy was doing great.

Electing conservative public servants will delay inevitable

Apparently the leaders of both major parties did not pay attention in high school economics classes. They should have learned that no family, no business, no government can continue to exist if they continually go deeper in debt.

Lifelong political service is its own welfare system

I just read about the Republican-controlled House passing a bill to extend the Transportation Security Administration to cover all mass transit.

Best person to run our country is not one, but we the people

I get a big laugh out of watching these politicians fighting among themselves to get elected president.

Media groups appear to be out of touch with reality

The Times endorsed Roy Dominguez for Lake County commissioner. He's the former Lake County sheriff who practically ruined that department.

Overt bias of the leftist media truly amazes me

Why is it that only rich Republican politicians and their wives are denigrated by the media? I'm scratching my head trying to understand the lib pundits who mimic the Democrat talking points that dump on the "filthy rich" Mitt Romney and his "idle" wife Anne.

Get rid of politicians who have been in public office too long

When God created man, he made some politicians, but some lost their objectives.

Use old hospital complex instead of building new

OK, Gary wants a second hospital. What about the old Mercy Hospital complex? Yes. It is sitting there. A building in good condition somewhat. You need to repair the windows, and the environmental system.

Remember majority rules when legislature convenes

Why is it that most of the times, an article in the newspaper concerning politics always says the Republican-controlled House in Indiana and our House of Representatives in Washington?

These four U.S. habits could prove fatal for nation

If or when our federal government goes out of existence, it will be because of public indifference. Concerns that might prove fatal include:

Indiana House Dems were wrong to walk out

Democratic state reps are cowards who consider deserting their posts OK! They are in breach of contract with the people of Indiana for which they have accepted payment to represent.
