The recent My Turn by Millie Lafontaine makes so many important and good points. We must continue to speak out, even if we don’t have the same power that the Republican majority in the State House, Congress and the White House. Government exists for the good of the people. Not just U.S. citizens, but for all. We are the most powerful nation on earth, but this power is being squandered in the name of selfishness and obtaining more money! How much do we need? Are we at a point where our nation, as a whole, not individuals, certainly, must amass more power and money? Is that the aim of the D.O.G.E.? If the rich are set on getting richer, how do those without much think those in power are looking out for them? This imbalance is going to lead to the downfall of the U.S. This prediction has been made for years and is coming to fruition. How do those in power think that “I’ve got mine and the rest of you are on your own” will end? No one makes it on their own and especially not the very rich!
