Letter: Dems must focus on issues, not Trump

Investigations to prove what most Americans already know (that the current administration is corrupt and incompetent) will not fix the cost-of-living issues facing our country.

Under our Constitution, Congress makes the laws, has exclusive authority over taxes and spending and the sole power to declare war. Instead of investigations, force Donald Trump to end his war with Iran that is inflating fuel prices. Reverse the Trump tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans that have increased our national debt by trillions and increased the cost of borrowing. Fix our broken immigration system and stop spending tens of billions on mass deportation efforts. Prevent the spending of taxpayer dollars on vanity projects not approved by Congress.

The majority of Americans have made clear they want change. Hopefully Democrats will try to fix problems rather than simply blaming Trump and Republicans for causing them in the first place.
