Great Letter To The Editor

A few days ago I ran across a great letter to the editor of our local newspaper. Here it is:

The Democrats now promise “A New Direction For America.”

The stock market is at a new all-time high, and America’s 401(k)s are back. A new direction from there means what?

Unemployment is at a 25-year low. A new direction from there means what?

Oil prices are down drastically. A new direction from there means what?

Taxes are at a 20-year low. A new direction from there means what?

Federal tax revenues are at an all-time high. A new direction from there means what?

The federal deficit is down almost 50 percent, just as predicted, over last year. A new direction from there means what?

Inflation is in check, hovering at a 20-year low. A new direction from there means what?

Not a single terrorist attack on U.S. soil since Sept. 11, 2001. A new direction from there means what?

Osama bin Laden is living under a rock in a dark cave, having not surfaced in years, if he’s alive at all, while 95 percent of al-Qaida’s top dogs are either dead or in custody, cooperating with U.S. intelligence. A new direction from there means what?

Several major terrorist attacks already thwarted by U.S. and British intelligence, including the recent planned attack involving 10 jumbo jets being exploded in mid-air over major U.S. cities. A new direction from there means what?

Now let me see, do I have this right? I can expect: The economy to go south, illegal immigrants to go north, taxes to go up, employment to go down, terrorism to come in, tax breaks to go out; Social Security to go away and health care to go the same way gas prices have gone.

Now I know why I feel good after the elections. I am going to be able to sleep so much better at nights knowing these dedicated Democratic politicians are thinking of my welfare and me.
