Bizarre world
Dear Editor,
I always thought American was a kid-friendly place where wholesome values were cherished and children were nurtured and protected. I guess I was wrong.
In Trump’s bizarre world, parents are put in the position of having to explain to their children what a porn star is. That’s just sick and wrong.
Yet that’s tiddlywinks compared with his most recent action: Trump has now declared all-out war against America’s most vulnerable children. He has requested a $7 billion dollar cut to the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). CHIP is a popular program that provides aid to families whose income is too high to qualify for Medicare but too low to afford health insurance. He wants to compromise or eliminate the ability of the 8.9 million children enrolled in the program to access health care so he can dump that money back into the Treasury. Then he can give more money to America’s wealthiest people who don’t need it. And, just like the tax scam, all this is on the backs of the working class and poor who struggle to pay for things like food and housing.
I can’t even begin to think of anything more un-American than attacking our own children. But I bet Trump can.
Sincerely,
Pat Holder
