OPINION:
Sen. Cory Booker, New Jersey Democrat, is accusing President Donald Trump and DOGE Director Elon Musk of having done tremendous damage to our country in just 72 days (“New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker launches overnight speech to protest Trump’s agenda,” Web, April 1). He and his allies just keep lying.
President Joe Biden irreparably damaged our country in his first few days in office. No one can deny the ongoing catastrophic effects of his open-border policies, prioritization of illegals over American citizens or decision to end U.S. energy independence and instead obtain fossil fuels from our enemies. Every U.S. citizen and business had to pay more for gasoline and utilities. And by giving illegal immigrants priorities for health care, Biden caused deaths and put other lives at risk.
The cuts proposed by Musk will stop agencies from providing benefits to unqualified people and wasting billions of dollars in compensation to incompetent and do-nothing employees. Democrats care little whether our hard-earned tax dollars are used only for appropriate purposes. There is no mirror big enough for Democrats to see what they have become.
