This is in response to two letters in the Sun Journal (Jan. 24) concerning the border wall. I did some fact-checking on what illegal aliens cost U.S. taxpayers every year. According to the Bureau of Justice, 26 percent of all inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens, costing $1.42 billion a year. According to Forbes, […]

Laws are there for a reason
Is the United States a country of laws? If I, as an American citizen, would have taken my two children, when they were younger, on a crime spree and broke into someone’s home, stole food, took money from draws and got arrested, I would have been put in jail. My children would have been taken […]
Who pays for Medicaid expansion?
I write this in response to the Sun Journal front page article “Expanding Medicaid a hot issue” (Nov. 3). Anyone reading that article might want to step into a restroom and, when reading the second paragraph where it is stated that the federal government will be paying for 90 percent of the tab, stop for […]
A different view
Reading the Opinion section of the newspaper just makes my day. I either have to laugh or cry at what some people truly believe. Take David Griffiths’ letter (May 25) — Democrats state that most conservatives are lying, but look at the facts. Just in the past few days there was a bill in the […]
Liberal left telling lies
This is in response to the article in favor of Question 2 written by John Kosinski (Sun Journal, Perspective, Oct. 30). Once again, the liberal left are telling lies as fact, and they are not being called out or having the facts checked by the media. Case in point, in his article, fourth paragraph, Kosinski […]
No say about the future
Why does anyone vote for a candidate from the Democratic Party anymore? Do people really believe the Democratic Party is by and for the people? Nothing could be further from the truth. All people have to do is look at one issue and it explains everything — the Democratic Party does not trust it own […]
Taxpayers furnish welfare benefits
This is in response to the Editor’s Note added to Bob Pelletier’s letter to the editor (Nov. 28). Deceptive and misleading comments like the one the editor made are among the reasons this country is in debt some $18 trillion and rising. Last time I looked at my paycheck, I have federal and state taxes […]
D. Dubuc: Insurance costs going to hurt
The front-page article Nov. 2 concerning the moderate increase in Affordable Care Act insurance premiums did not tell the whole story. The general public needs to know. That article made it sound as if all is well with Obamacare and that it is a great deal for businesses and the public sector. In reality, nothing […]
