Lynn Richard, Kindred, N.D., letter: How many jobs has Congress created?
Taxpayers should call the congressmen’s offices and ask them what jobs have they created since July 2001. Also, what is the job; where is the job; how much does it pay; and what are the benefits?

Edward Halas, Grand Forks, letter: Neither right nor left has all the answers
A one-size fits all economic theory, like supple-side or the Keynesian formula, will not work. We need a more comprehensive approach like the Simpson-Bowles paper to solve our economic mess.
That will be painful, and I wonder if we are up to it.

Becky Ylitalo, Badger, Minn., column: Should song title be ‘America the Hypocritical’?
Companies demand more and more out of us, placing unrealistic demands that ultimately hurt families at the core. Incomes drop as taxes and insurance premiums rise. Public education falters due to harsh state and federal mandates.
And as a result, middle-class Americans are the ones who suffer.

RALPH KINGSBURY: N.D. energy growth shows free market at work
Keynesian economics made America the greatest power the world had ever seen. That was the conventional wisdom about 50 years ago. At that time, most students — this writer included — tended to accept the prevailing theories of every field of study. Keynes was right about anything dealing with economics; Freud was right about psychology, and so on.

Peter Pogatshnik, Casselton, N.D., letter: System coddles rich while shunning poor
Why is it that when the government helps the rich, we pretend it doesn’t happen or we call it the American Way, but when the government helps those who are less fortunate, we call it socialism or communism?

Shelton Gunaratne, Moorhead, column: Today’s have-nots have even less
The Republican Party, particularly its tea party manifestation, is the agent of the upper class and the super-rich, whose claim to represent the “grassroots” is a big lie.
They are troglodytes who want to make money out of further exploiting the hoi polloi by curtailing the intervention of the federal government, all in the guise of implementing the intentions of the founding fathers.
