Letter: Debt on the backs of regular people

In response to the letter writer from Green Valley who said Trump/Musk are “at least trying to attack spending,” I say the attack is directed at the American people. Those who need Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and safety nets are being grossly affected by the changes made by the current administration. With the BBB (big budget blow-up) and all of the back-door deals being made the wealthy will get wealthier, the poor will get poorer, the uneducated will remain uneducated, and still, the deficit will explode to appease Trump and his sycophants. Government should be more efficient, and there are ways to address fraud, waste, and abuse, but our government is not a business, and consideration for “we the people” must be present when changes are considered. Our government is here to serve the people, not wannabe autocrats and zillionaires. By far, the biggest fraud, waste, and abuse America is currently experiencing is this administration, and not even DOGE can remedy that. So we must in 2026.
