State of the Union from another perspective Dear editor, Since the State of the Union speech the stock market came back up some but it shows the people that President Trump can control the economy with his tariffs. I understand that the average family is in debt close to $30,000. With lending institutions offering credit to most everyone who asks. Credit card companies interest rates run 18.24% to 24%. Then you have these companies that will settle the debts for less that amount owed. Who makes up the difference?
It seems to me that the younger generations want instant gratification an consequently they over spend.
When my wife and I got married our parents said to buy a house as soon as possible. We saved $700 for a down payment on a house. Then we furnished 1 piece at a time by saving our money before we purchased.
With so many Americans working in low paying jobs and the cost of living going up some people will have to choose a roof over their head or food on the table.
What will the farmers of Texas do when the migrant workers are deported? These are the people that pick the crops. With the tariffs on China, so much of what is produced in Texas might not be exported will the government pay for their crops or pay them not to grow any crops.
Well that is my perspective: So Many Governed By So Few.
On another subject: I’m surprised that the Milam County officials and DPS haven’t noticed that there isn’t a left turn lane for FM 487 where it meets FM 1712. I cannot see that the new housing projects require a 1/4 mile left turn lane.
