The latest federal “budget” is proof, if more proof were needed, that Donald Trump views himself, as do his minions, not as the elected representative of our nation, but as the all-powerful CEO of his own company (and we know how well he runs those).
This creation is an abomination, designed to simultaneously erase Barack Obama's legacy while lining the pockets of Trump and his partners in, essentially, a robbery.
If even one aspect of this “budget” is enacted, people's lives, including overwhelmingly the lives of Trump supporters, will be negatively impacted. Our environment will suffer. Our standing in the world, already precarious, will suffer, and the economy will take a nosedive, because anyone with any economic experience at all knows that trickle-down has never worked, and won't work now.
We need to fight this with everything we've got. The USA is not a business, and we are not Trump's employees.

I had to read this piece twice because I thought I must have missed the joke. I'm told this was intended to be funny; I'm afraid it has missed the mark. We moved to Brattleboro to be part of this community, and we get to know our neighbors (good and bad), and often venture out onto evil, violent Elliot Street for drinks at one of the three bars or to visit one of the excellent restaurants, bookstores, hair salons, the...
Amy Comerchero: you have been a warm, genuine, generous, wonderful boss and friend. It's been a pleasure to work for you, and I feel very lucky that you took me into your Amy's Bakery Arts Café family. I hope you take lots of time to enjoy that well-deserved break before starting on your next adventure. (I can't wait to see what it will be!) I love you, Amy. Thank you so much for being you!
