Letter to the editor:

Trump already is paying off

A couple of years ago, I said that instead of voting for folks with degrees in political science or law, we should elect CEOs and businesspeople because they would better understand what $20 trillion in debt really is. Well, we elected one and he has accomplished even more than promised, despite all the opposition.

Yes, he had to continue to borrow, but we knew that anyone elected would have to, because we were left in a weakened state by his predecessor, who doubled the debt with nothing to show for it.

When President Donald Trump backs out of bad agreements with other countries, it's part of his negotiating tactics. We know he will return to sign a better agreement.
