Moronic Letters

I usually skip the editorial page of our local newspaper, the Press Corporate Democrat, because the letters to the editor are moronic. A respectable newspaper would not print rubbish. For example, this morning's paper had a letter that ended as follows:

"The White House (our house) should not be closed to us. it is just the president (sic) trying to put pressure on the public so he can put us further in debt. In my household, I don't spend money I don't have, and I don't want my government to spend money it doesn't have. Particularly when it wastes so very much on duplicate programs and provides welfare and shelter to non-citizens  who blow up innocent children."

Signed (a very stupid woman)

 The assumptions by this very stupid woman are that the President  wants to increase the national debt, and his reason is . . . she doesn't say. I suppose Obama wants to increase our debt because he is pure evil. The stupid woman is so ignorant about economics that she assumes that you manage a household the same way you manage a federal government. Now it is true that she likely owes the bank $400,000 on her mortgage, and it is true that the federal government has a large military payroll and an economy to get back up to speed, but never mind. In her dim mind the two are comparable. Finally she seems to believe that our mass murderers (most of them male citizens) are on welfare when they flip out and kill people.  That is a fact, and she found it deep in the recesses of her own gigantic hindquarters. 

Remind me not to read the editorial page tomorrow.
