GOP wants to cut entitlements

To the Editor: Who cares if you’re a Republican or Democrat? Who cares if you like Biden? Who cares who will run for President in 2024? 

Right now, if the current brand of Republicans win, Social Security will go back on the chopping block … the cap on drug prices will be popped off … victims of rape and incest will be forced into an involuntary choice. As for inflation, that is a worldwide problem because of Putin’s war and his nuclear threats to us all — threats that can’t be ignored. Yes, that means the cost of living has gone up in the USA, but it has skyrocketed in other countries around the world.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
