Sound Off for December 23, 2017

Needless tragedy

Why would an engineer test out a new Amtrak train with passengers on it? Doesn’t make sense.

Vintage error

Two times this week my paper didn’t have the D section. The press people need to lay off the wine.

Core value?

What happened to the core Republican belief we should manage the budget? For Republicans in Congress, know that you just added over $1 trillion to the deficit to cut taxes for the wealthy.

Distant memory

Is anyone else out there just plain tired of hoping for the American dream? What is it, anyway?

A modest break

Synovus is too cheap to provide free checks to senior citizens, especially when this group doesn’t do online banking. Homegrown company. Eighty dollars for checks. Shameful.

So there

The Christian Democrats who chastised Christians for voting for Trump are the ones who voted for Clinton and Obama twice. Hello, stupid.

Santa Soft Money

I know Congress will enjoy their Christmas break. They can’t wait to open their presents from the lobbyists.
