Heating
costs
12-28-00
To
the editor:
Mike,
you are exactly right about the heating costs skyrocketing along
with the electricity woes, which will even deteriorate more as
time goes on.
You
place the blame on corporate America, OPEC and the Department of
Energy, yet we all know where the real blame lies: right at the
top, within the White House. Everyone has expressed how good the
economy is, and the oil reserves were being tapped into to save
the communities throughout the U.S.
Yep,
right. That sure worked, and now all we see right at the end of
our president's term — things are falling to pieces. The fact
is, no responsible planning for all of these problems was
accomplished during the last eight years of this administration.
The complaining may be harsh about oil and gas prices, but yet
numerous individuals voted for Clinton, and this is what he has
given them in return; that is a fact.
We
can blame OPEC and "Big Business" all we want, but until
we become self sufficient in fuel supplies and have an energy
secretary who can plan for our future heating and cooling needs,
this problem will never go away,
Hopefully,
during the next four years, and hopefully, without the Democrats
trying to stop the progress we need, some of these problems WILL
be solved.
Also,
if they are solved, or at least a plan is set forth, I hope voters
will remember who was at the helm. If there is no success, our
next president must also shoulder the failure.
That
is how I see it, and that is only my opinion. We need to stop
glorifying a president who really did nothing for "we, the
people" except embarrass our nation. "We the
people" made the economy what it was, not he.
We
also must be realistic in not relying on troubled nations to
assist us and/or hold us hostage to any price they may deem. Our
foreign aid to these countries is unbelievable, which most
individuals don't even realize. Our military support has always
been there for them. Now what are they willing to do for us? Not
much, as we can all easily see.
Respectfully,
George

Crossword puzzle

To
the editor:
When
I went to do the crossword puzzle, I noticed it is from October.
Halloween is over. Is it possible to update the crossword more
frequently? I'm sure I am not the only avid crossword puzzler who
reads the Lincoln Daily News. What is the possibility of adding
other puzzles like Jumble or Cryptograms? Thanks for
listening.

Teresa,
Thanks for speaking up! How many times did you hear, "Maybe for
Christmas if you're good!" when you were growing up? You must
be good; there's a new crossword today!
Thanks,
