Letter Of The Day

By BRAD PAULSEN, Mason City

The No Child Left Behind Act, Social Security, Medicare, enough nursing homes for the Americans in their golden years, homelessness, hunger, poverty, environmental concerns, decaying infrastructure, heating our homes, fuel for our cars, trucks, trains, planes, lawn mowers, snowblowers, wars on drugs, illegal immigration, hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Wilma, homeland security, the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, the trade deficit, the national debt, which, is only $4.50 over $7 trillion.

The issues facing America, mentioned above, are not at all troublesome, worrisome or perplexing whatsoever.

Why? Because we Americans are very fortunate that we have in place a government in absolute complete control of the “compassionate conservatives.” The late Lawrence Welk would say, “A wonderful! A wonderful!”

Dissent of government policy is of no use; ask anyone who knew of the late Rosa Parks. Rosa was arrested and had to pay a fine for practicing the undefined art of dissent.

So stop complaining, Americans. But just as a precaution, open a Swiss bank account and learn to speak Chinese.
