Trump’s ultimatum for Maduro: Letters – Latest News
The Issue: President Trump telling Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro to resign or face army motion.
While President Trump has justifiably pursued felony drug traffickers from Venezuela, Democrats have protested the legality of army motion, regardless of comparable army interventions by former President Barack Obama and others in opposition to ISIS and the Taliban (“Don: clock is ticking, Nic,” Dec. 1).
Unfortunately, many Americans seem more involved with home financial points than overseas coverage successes.

Our president’s threats to Nicolás Maduro are an abuse of energy and governmental overreach.
Congress must step in instantly and forestall additional escalation.
Also, what’s stopping Trump from forcing a regime change in Russia and China, whose leaders make Maduro appear to be a choir boy?
If I had been Maduro, I’d inform Trump I wouldn’t step down till he forces Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping to step down first.

Trump is doing the correct factor by blowing up drug boats on the best way to this nation.
People who disagree are saying it’s OK to convey medicine into this nation to kill our residents.
I believe we need to develop a tablet for common sense.

The “peace” president, has successfully declared warfare on Venezuela.
He has threatened a no-fly zone and a “boots on the ground” invasion.
Trump’s taking full benefit of the essential rule of life: You can do no matter you need till somebody stops you.
Congress, whose job is to include the president, has uncared for its obligation and unleashed a monster.

Maduro’s a dictator who’s destroying each his own nation and our own with medicine.
He’s poisoning our youth and his egregious actions should stop.
Trump will do that by destroying boats which can be carrying medicine and, hopefully, inciting a change of regime in Venezuela, bringing back democracy and releasing Venezuelans.
Let freedom ring!

While I agree with most of what was mentioned within the current editorial, I keep listening to that hit music of a bygone period, “Weapons of Mass Destruction” (“Maduro Must Go,” Editorial, Dec. 1).
Let’s pray that if Trump goes by way of with army motion, he could have all his geese lined up within the correct fashion.

The Issue: The Affordable Care Act’s ongoing destructive influence on health-care prices.
Obamacare is the federal authorities’s one-size-fits-all strategy that’s led to rising premiums and growing uncertainty within the health-care market (“Obamacare Crashing,” Editorial, Nov. 30).
Now, we need state-based options to handle the health-insurance issues.
Before Obamacare, Wisconsin had a sturdy program — Health Insurance Risk Sharing Plan — which supplied health insurance coverage to people with pre-existing situations who had been denied protection by insurance coverage firms.
When Obamacare was applied, this system was eradicated and hundreds of people misplaced insurance coverage protection.
It is time to present states the ability to design health insurance policy for their particular populations again.

The inevitable failure of Obamacare was a characteristic, not a bug.
The program was designed to break down and go away “tens of millions of Americans in the lurch,” to permit for a future Democrat cavalry to trip in and save the day with socialized medication.
This was the final word aim.
