Dear Editor:
Tired of ever-inclining costs? The continued high and increasing cost of groceries, gas, diesel, fertilizer, healthcare, housing, childcare, electronics, farm equipment, interest rates on credit cards and mortgages — well, almost everything.
It’s no wonder: so many policies out of Washington cause those higher prices — the needless war in Iran, ongoing tariffs, detaining and deporting legal migrants (which causes a shortage of workers in agriculture and construction), federal policies that encourage more and more data centers.
Meanwhile, Washington has shredded the social safety net — wiping out subsidies for Affordable Care Act health coverage, cutting Medicaid, cutting support for rural hospitals like Valley Health, cutting food assistance and cutting funding to treat substance abuse.
Our Congressman Ben Cline supports all these policies. He’s a cause of inclining costs.
It’s time to De-Cline him.
In November, vote for change: Vote for Beth Macy for U.S. Congress.
Why Beth Macy? Because throughout her decades as an investigative journalist and in her political campaign, she continues fighting corporate greed, fighting the opioid epidemic, and working to bring jobs, affordable healthcare, housing, and education to rural communities.
Unlike Mr. Cline, she’s for protecting farmland and water from even more data centers and for protecting jobs from artificial intelligence; she wants to protect Social Security, wants to enact a legal right to repair, and declines to take political contributions from Big Pharma and Big Ag.
It’s time for a change. Vote Beth Macy for Congress.
Tom Ford ~ Luray, Va.
