Letter: GOP brought us war, huge deficit

February 19 - 20, 2005
The Democrats have given this country some very significant legislation, including Social Security, Medicare, the Civil Rights Act, urban renewal, Head Start, the Marshall Plan that saved Europe, and the bill that guaranteed workers could have sick leave. The Democratic administration in the 1990s also left the current Republican administration with a huge surplus.
Now the Republicans are saying to the Democrats, "What have you done lately?"
I suggest the Democrats ask that very same question of the Republicans. Their answer would include building huge deficits over the past four years and starting an illegal war that has killed many Americans.
I served in World War II as a Marine sergeant. I've lived a lot of years, and I can't name one good Republican idea.
