President Trump's letter & more drinking

English version of Trump letter
TRUMP'S LETTER:
Did you get your letter from President Trump? You know, the one he sent using taxpayer money to tell you something you already knew, that you were receiving or had received a stimulus check for $1,200 or $2,400 or some other amount. The letter is a campaign gimmick, no more, no less.

Spanish version of Trump letter
Trump offered a little credit to Congress, but this was a stunt to put his name front and center as the savior of the economy as if this will cover lost wages, investments, and other forms of income, asking us to go out into the world and spend, spend, spend just as his administration has done since he took office in 2017.

For someone who ran as a small government Republican but who was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing, he has driven the deficit and debt of the United States government to heights that are completely unmanageable.

Interestingly, on one side of the single sheet of paper the letter was written in English. On the other side it was in Spanish. For someone who doesn't like the Spanish speaking population to the south of the United States, why would he include a Spanish version? You decide. Hopefully everyone can see through this campaign effort.

MORE ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION
No doubt, the COVID-19 pandemic is getting a lot of people down in the dumps. I understand alcohol consumption is up as the woes of being asked to stay home is causing this increase. Of course, just driving to the grocery store for more beer and wine and to the ABC store for restocking of liquor is also a relief from staying home.

With alcohol consumption increasing, a friend offers this: "When I read about the evils of drinking during this time of a major health and economic crisis, I made an important decision. I gave up reading."
