Reaction is necessary

EDITOR:

Referring to the innocuous editorial from Ralph Blasier, a reaction is absolutely necessary. As a former Young Republicans President umpteen years ago (no longer a Republican or young), I find the existing Republican Party as totally dangerous to our nation and its people. Calling CNN, MSNBC, and other mainstream media outlets as “evil” is absolutely dismaying. The one true biased and media hoax has to be Fox. There is nothing but extreme right-wing opinions and lies that are promulgated daily on that station — facts and truth are “hardly ever” included in this mindless “news” communication.

Trying to reinvigorate the economy while dealing with this pandemic is not possible. Saving lives should be of paramount importance. We can thank Republican presidents for past economic disasters — Hoover and the Depression, George W. Bush with the 2007-08 recession, and now the Trump recession/depression evolving. What have Republicans done to improve life besides creating socialistic giveaways to billionaires? Do we see any viable programs to help our citizenry from Republicans? Nothing is passed or sponsored by Republicans other than avenues for greater profits for the very rich. We have lost 700,000 jobs in March, the highest figure since the Great Depression and this is only to get worse.

Trump’s inadequate and disastrous coronavirus response will surely create more chaos in our weakened economy.
