With all the belly-aching, temper tantrums, hysteria and foot stomping like petulant children, the liberals writing into this newspaper since Donald Trump was re-elected have taken all the space on the opinion page. I tried to wait it out, but they are the gift that keeps on giving.

Nazi, tyrant, Mussolini, resist at all costs, the world is ending, the drone goes on and on.

Most of them just need to go outside and take a walk and enjoy the view. Wow, some of these people are wound up too tight.

I never knew so many people are against reducing the bloat in government payrolls, against government waste and fraud or scrutinizing aid money being sent to foreign countries. The U.S. government (that’s us folks) is $37 trillion in debt.

Our country has had trillion-plus dollar deficits for the last few years. These numbers are unsustainable.

Our state of Massachusetts has to operate by a balanced budget. Finally our southern border was closed by the new president.

The number of people here illegally in Massachusetts dropped dramatically enough for our governor to close free room and board hotels. Why! To save money. Don’t you get it?
