Letter to The Editor
Author: Doug Purcell, Townsend
We have been asked to comment on the presidential race. I think the best way is to compare Biden against the Republican party.
Joe Biden: American Rescue Plan, Infrastructure Bill, 1st major gun safety bill in decades, Chips and Science Act, Inflation Reduction Act, cut child poverty in half, capped senior drug prices, reduced health care premiums for the ACA by $800 a year, Medicare can negotiate drug prices, signed the PACT Act, reauthorized the Violence Against Women Act, support for Ukraine defense, hands-on in Gaza, rejoined the Paris Agreement, imposed a minimum 15% corporate tax, unemployment under 4% for 21 months in a row, wages up 5.6%, GDP up 5.7%, America's economy is growing faster than China's for the first time in 40 years.
Now let's look at Republicans. Since they took back The House they have just kicked the budget can down the road; had 2 speakers and have not passed a single bill. With the chaos in the last Republican president's cabinet and the chaos in the present House it is clear the Republican Party does not have the compassion or caring to lead the United States of America.
