Post: Thursday, June 21 column by Benjamin Wachs, "Democracy's not a battle"

Editor,

Benjamin Wachs’ column in today’s paper needs to be corrected.  Democracy is and will always be a battle.  He questions whether  the Tea Party has made a dent in the deficit.  Well in fact, they have.  The Tea party was very instrumental in electing Governor Walker in Wisconsin and fighting off the union’s attempt to recall him.  He eliminated a 3 billion dollar deficit and now has a surplus and is growing jobs. They will have the same effect nationally.   Wachs calls for compromise, finding common ground and claims our problems have only gotten bigger.  And the reason they have gotten bigger is because the Republicans and conservatives have compromised, tried to find common ground and been honest in their dealings with the Progressives---to no avail.  Bad people always rely on the good will of good people to get bad things done.  Every compromise has driven us one step closer to Socialism.  No More.  When the Democrats had total control of congress there was absolutely no compromise.  Now that the shoe is on the other foot the cries for compromise are loud and constant.
