Regarding Anita Hansen's April 9 letter: Life is hard out here. We have been lied to regarding COLA (government cost-of-living-adjustment formula). We know how much everything has gone up, thus we have reduced how much it takes to run our households.
Hansen stated that you would be thankful to have the Bush administration mess back.
More than 4,200 Gold Star Mothers would give anything to have their sons and daughters back home where they belong. Yet this Bush still freely walks to do as he pleases.
The same when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. Yet Bush can't let the United States take flights to other countries because of violation of the Geneva Convention.
So you want that back? His administration never put the wars in the budget. President Barack Obama has to deal with it.
Also the Tea Party movement is trying to take this country down in many areas.
The huge corrupt health care companies are bringing in the money.
A long nasty path is ahead for we the people. A march to Washington to save this country is in order.
