Letter to the editor: Breaking what isn’t broken

To the editor:

Donald Trump, when assuming the presidency, took charge of an economy described by economists at the World Bank as “the envy or the world.”

We had overcome the stresses of COVID and enjoyed prolonged growth, record low unemployment, record high stock market values and post-COVID inflation almost back to normal.

Trump’s approach to this good fortune was the same as his approach to the world’s premier collection of research universities, including the University of Kansas. If it ain’t broke, break it! It appears he is well on his way to doing so. Bye Bye, retirement fund.
