To the editor: I agree with the letter author from South Dakota that People are involved in regards to the nationwide debt and need our authorities to behave in a fiscally accountable method. Nevertheless, to bestow this job 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 funds, which President Trump has not but offered. Congress considers that funds, 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 workers 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 might take could be to extend taxes on rich people akin to Trump and Musk. Democrats have been attempting to do that, however Republicans have at all times blocked this honest and accountable coverage as a result of their capability to remain in workplace has trusted undertaxing the rich.

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