Do you believe we only get propaganda from our news media and politicians? Have they lost their honesty, integrity, statesmanship, honor and intestinal fortitude (guts)?
Only half a truth is a lie and the American citizens deserves all the truth and all the facts on any subject and we don't get it from our news media: NBC, CBS, MSMBC, FOX, CNN, C-Span, etc. and our politicians, who I believe are supposed to represent the American citizen of our country and what is best for them. Our ancestors fought and died, gave their blood for this country, the greatest the world has ever known.
I get the Mansfield News Journal and the Ashland Times-Gazette. I have never read or seen: 1) the ideal population of the United States, 2) the cost of illegal aliens or 3) legal immigrants. The general accounting office PEW, Heritage foundation and others who do statistic work would have the answers, but no one will report it.
Now I sent letters to Sen. Voinovich and Sen. Brown, no answers, then Sen. Portman, (just under 11 months being in office ) he answered 100 billion is the cost of illegal aliens to the American tax paying citizen and 113 billion per year for legal immigrants. After his letter, I would call their office once a week, you have to give Sen. Portman some time for being new. Sen. Brown answered after a letter and contacting his office once a week for 355 weeks (6.8 years). Same answer for illegal aliens 100 billion. For legal immigrants, the cost was $114 billion. One billion more than what Sen. Portman said a long, long time between answers.
Now I talked to Rep. Gibbs at a town hall meeting and asked the same questions. All he did is B.S. me and I let him. Then again at the Corner Park at a rally and then a man got him away, so I take a letter down to his Ashland office once a month. I also get candy from a bowl on the counter, (payment for the trip).
One hundred billion in 10 years is $1 trillion, the cost to the American taxpayer (illegal aliens); $114 billion in 10 years is $1 trillion, 114 billion to the American taxpayer (legal immigrants). What kind of breaks do they get that American citizens don't get?
Think what $2 trillion, 114 billion (over 10 years) would do for the 90 million unemployed or the under employed, S.S.I., Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, homeless, hungry, inner-cities, schools, people down on their luck, housing and medicines, the list goes on and on.
Due to the fact that we have no journalists and politicians who will give you the facts, they seem to lead you down the golden path one way.
Now some people won't like my questions, but I feel it is my right as it is for everyone to ask yours. Call your senators and representatives, put your letters in the paper, questions and answers.
Now before you rip me, tell me I don't have the right to ask questions from my senator and representative, ask them if what I have said is true and, if they say it isn't, then one of us is a liar.
We have got to be logical (common sense) instead of emotional and make America great again.
