                              When it passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act last year, Congress enacted some of the biggest reforms to two of America’s welfare programs in decades — the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and Medicaid, which provides healthcare for one in four low-income Americans.

                              Sometimes you lose even when you win. That’s what it feels like trying to make ends meet in today’s economy — and our ever-shrinking safety net isn’t helping.

                              Faced with soaring deficits, an aging population, a teetering pension system, unsustainable healthcare obligations, $1 trillion in annual interest costs, rising long-term bond yields and net public debt at around 100% of gross domestic product, what’s a country to do?

                              Long gone are the days where impulse buying meant grabbing an unplanned candy bar or magazine in the checkout line. Now, social media makes it quick and easy for us to purchase just about anything with the click of a button, whether or not it’s in the budget. And for some Americans, it’s hurting them...

                              LETTER: Don't vote for who you want, vote for who is best for the country

                              I wish to focus on the last sentence of David Deaver’s letter to the editor of July 25 (“Vote for who you want”).

                              LETTER: President Trump is right: Protect the integrity of our elections

                              LETTER: President Trump is right: Protect the integrity of our elections

                              President Trump was right when he recently sounded the alarm about serious holes in the integrity of our elections. In New Jersey, it was found that over 6,000 non-citizens we're on that state's voter rolls, despite being ineligible. Almost 400 cast ballots! Yet the "experts" constantly tell us that these people can't vote. While not all immigrants are in the country illegally, all who are are non-citizens. Any on that voter roll should be deported.

                              LETTER: Pay attention to the socialists' agenda

                              During the 1917-1922 Russian Revolution, Lenin promised peasants peace, land, and bread — that became central to the Bolshevik/communist political/war campaign. None of this happened — millions starved/murdered. Peasants, like the “dummies” I referred to in a previous letter, were duped. If they didn’t like it, Lenin said: “We'll ask the man, where do you stand on the question of the revolution? Are you for it or against it? If he's against it, we'll stand him up against a wall.” While Democratic Socialists of America have not yet gotten to the wall treatment, here’s their evolving platform:
