To the editor: I agree with the letter author from South Dakota that People are involved in regards to the nationwide debt and wish our authorities to behave in a fiscally accountable manner. Nonetheless, to bestow this process upon an unelected billionaire with no authorities expertise is the antithesis of duty. (“The big picture on Trump might be darker than anyone realizes,” letters, Feb. 9)
Fiscal insurance policies start with the president’s proposed finances, which President Trump has not but supplied. Congress considers that finances, votes on laws and appropriates cash. The judicial department can determine on the legality or constitutionality of insurance policies.
Nowhere within the Structure does it say that an unelected particular person can arbitrarily seize management of quite a few companies and hearth staff with out trigger. Fiscal coverage and administration are difficult processes that can not be responsibly effectuated in lower than three weeks, as Elon Musk has tried to do.
If Musk, Trump and Republicans in Congress had been actually involved in regards to the debt, the primary motion they’d take can be to extend taxes on rich people reminiscent of Trump and Musk. Democrats have been attempting to do that, however Republicans have all the time blocked this honest and accountable coverage as a result of their means to remain in workplace has relied on undertaxing the rich.

To the editor: A letter author says that what the unelected billionaire Musk is doing to the U.S. authorities is “widespread sense.”
This conclusion takes my breath away as a result of it implies that regardless of the Trump authorities says it does for the widespread good is certainly for the widespread good. No questions. No evaluation. No investigation. If the Trump administration says it’s doing good, needed stuff, then it should be.
That may be a positive path to dictatorship. I pray that isn’t what the American individuals need.
