On feel-good politics

I read little Timmy Griffin’s guest column and just shake my head. It seems he is not only diminutive in stature but apparently diminutive in thinking. He is just another robo-Republican who can’t have an original thought past the party line and fits in really well with other robos like Tom

Cotton and

John Boozman.

They wrap themselves in the flag and Arkies lap the message up. Social Security going broke? No prob. Medicare going broke? No prob. Running up the national debt another $1.5 trillion? No prob. Building a $40 billion wall on the Mexican border? No prob. Solving the health-care issue that’s sinking middle-class Americans? What problem?

No, we need tax cuts so that Donald Trump and the rest of the Republican jokers can give us something for nothing. Why do rich people and corporations need tax cuts? I don’t know, but Timmy apparently does. They get big bucks and we get leftovers.

Timmy has one of the easiest jobs in Arkansas and collects a salary from the state of Arkansas, and apparently it isn’t keeping him busy enough, so he has time to write about how bad we need a few bucks a week more so we can pay for the next increase in our health care.

Maybe he needs to take some economics courses in high school or junior college. Arkansas is an undereducated state and ripe for something-for-nothing feel-good politics. Why don’t we just completely do away with all taxes if tax cuts are the answer? Tax cuts are the cocaine of politics. BRUCE OWENS Benton
