Ted Slowik, why am I resentful about the student loan bailout? My husband who just passed away from the ravages of Agent Orange worked his butt off to take care of his family. How about people get off their derrieres and work for a living instead of relying on the Democratic government to take care of them? Oh wait a minute, that’s what the Democrats want, people beholden to them. My family members are college educated, and we vote Republican. So in your infinite bias, you call Republican voters uneducated. How about doing a couple of columns on the ravages of Agent Orange?

Headline reads: Commonwealth Edison to give back $38 million for role in Madigan bribery case, which will amount to $4.80 that will be returned to the customers. The money was part of a federal fine that disrupted Madigan’s political career page. Allegedly Madigan participated in bribery and extortion schemes while he was a leader of the democratic branch. ComED was able to raise prices to get other goodies with Madigan’s help. So payback next year would be a measly $4.80, while Madigan with his pension and money from Commonwealth Edison is sitting on millions of dollars.

Trump refuses to obey any laws because they don’t apply to him. He tries to get rid of any political opponents and lies about the election being stolen. He tried to have the Federal Government and United States done away with because he could be the dictator. He doesn’t believe in democracy. And, to him, it is Trump’s Laws. And if things don’t go his way, they are out to get him, and he is being persecuted, according to him. Hopefully they find him guilty, but he will appeal it till hell freezes over.

Well, Joe Biden like the liberal Democrat that he is using my tax dollars to buy votes. Who’s going to pay off my college debt? Oh, that’s right. I paid it off by working. This whole administration is a disgrace to democracy and at every level just buying votes with my money. What a disgrace.
