To the editor:
So many impending problems, with so few crumbs to spread over them. While others squabble over disbursing table scraps, Donald Trump's focus is on bringing our jobs back and growing our crumbling economic pie as large as possible.
Our trade imbalances are a disaster and no one has been minding this store, evidently for decades. Both parties are to blame. Yearly, China exceeds $505 billion, Japan $70 billion and Mexico over $50 million. We have become a sad service section nation, for the most part. Made in USA labels have become as rare as Hawkeye Rose Bowl scores.
Trump has a plan to reverse this train wreck quickly and restore our robust economic engine. This can fuel, fund and solve many other problems. Let's put a proven business leader at the helm. Someone who knows what corporate inversion means and why the rigors of cost accounting matter to staying within budgets. If we don't do this, we will be cooking our humble pies on a hot plate (made in China), run by a bicycle generator (made in Japan). Caucus for Trump.
