Dear Editor:

In your December 13 edition I first read the editorial by Froma Harrop that told us the present booming economy was because of inertial forces from the Obama administration, and that Trump’s policies would lead to economic disaster.  I laughed and laughed.  And then I read the editorial by Thomas L. Knapp that told us about our bloated military and how money appropriated for the military goes to enrich defense industry executives.  Another snicker,  I seriously doubt that such editorials will increase the circulation of your newspaper.  But I will continue to read it for the amusement value.
