Some thoughts on your editorial regarding the U.S. Department of Homeland Security budget while basking in climate cooling ("No time to make America less safe," Feb. 16). First, why is it OK for the Democrats to filibuster and not pay a price when the GOP would be blasted for the same technique?
President Barack Obama seems really worried as he plays golf yet again in Palm Springs with the "swells and elites." As long as the "essentials" go to work, we will be fine.
The sequestration of 2013 helped the Republicans to gain more than 20 seats in Congress in 2014. I would expect a similar gain in 2016 if they stick to their guns. You would be surprised how many of us want a balanced budget and a president who respects the law and the other two branches of government.
