LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Biden proposals a boon for nation

In the April 16 letter “Taxpayers being fleeced again,” the author attacked the Biden administration for passing the American Rescue Plan Act, claiming it allocated only a fraction of its funding to COVID-19 relief. He further attacked President Joe Biden’s proposed $2.275 trillion package to fund infrastructure improvements.

The American Rescue Plan Act not only resulted in the tangible and real life-saving vaccination of hundreds of millions of Americans, but also relief funds of $1,400 per person to survive in our ravaged economy.

As far as Biden’s proposal for infrastructure improvements, the author relies on the very questionable authority of Larry Kudlow to claim that the proposal would not provide major help to this nation’s infrastructure and would “absolutely devastate” our economy.

Yes, Kudlow, former President Donald Trump’s financial adviser and director of the National Economic Council from 2018 to the end of Trump’s presidency.Yes, Kudlow, the yes man who prior to 2018 was a financial program host for the Fox News Channel and who advised Trump in passing the 2017 $2 trillion tax cut that was literally a gift to the wealthy and rich — amounting to $450 billion of lost revenue and resulted in no tangible benefit to the nation.

Trump, with his yes man Kudlow, drove this nation into an economic chasm by gifting billions to the wealthy. Conversely, the Democratic legislation will result in improving the medical and economic health of Americans and permanently improving our infrastructure with cement, asphalt, steel, etc.
