Letters to the Editor: Campaign promises come with costs

Dear Editor, Kids playing in a sandbox continue to throw sand outside the box and without somehow having the facility to replace that sand, eventually, empty the box. I believe a government that offers to buy everything and pay for everything for people under its governing policies, without a means to replace the funds to do so, eventually runs out of funds. Printing more currency is an answer that only serves to devalue those funds that are already in the hands of those who have any left, eventually making that currency worthless. The experiment has been tried elsewhere and failed. While Americans are blessed to have been given many benefits, and while there has been wealth created here to allow many who are incapable of caring for themselves to be cared for, that ability comes from the work and productivity that our country men and women are incentivized to create.
