Sen. Susan Collins has expressed her dismay on local news outlets about proposed cuts in Medicaid funding as part of the federal budget that passed in the House and is scheduled to come before the Senate. Collins expressed concern about cuts to Medicaid affecting children, the elderly, frail and those with disabilities, veterans and the homeless. Medicaid was one area that President Trump promised to protect.

I write in response to the inequity in girls’ sports in Maine. Women have had a very short-lived tenure in competitive sports, especially considering the first Olympics began in ancient Greece. During that short duration women have slowly earned seats on crews, time on the ice, placements in track and field, a turn at bat and sports funding at their respective schools and colleges.

With regard to what we consider, and deserve, as presidential attributes are: leadership skills; sound decision-making abilities; honesty; trust; mental health; empathy; future vision; integrity; intelligence; ability to stay calm under pressure; and respect for the rule of law. Our current tenant, Donald Trump, lacks much of what we simply desire and expect in a president.

We the people have a big problem right now. The national debt is climbing again to $37 trillion and the interest that taxpayers will pay this year is $952 billion. Some are thinking, “That’s not real money, it’s not on me!” Actually, that is real money. It will be paid this year and it will be more next year. The efforts of DOGE haven’t even reduced the deficit much and the proposed budget (the “big, beautiful bill”) will add trillions more to the current debt (again, all real money).

I believe the law should be enforced for immigrants who have committed crimes just as much as for presidents. And I believe people involved in law enforcement, from police on the beat all the way up through special prosecutors and Supreme Court justices, should be proud of their work enforcing the law. So why do ICE agents wear masks? It can’t be that they want to surprise the people they arrest, since their costume is well known.

This summer we’re making our annual pilgrimage to Prince Edward Island. And soon I’ll be taking my wife to Quebec City for our anniversary. I hear talk of tensions between the U.S. and Canada. People are fearful and angry. But, as in any relationship, spending time together with the ones we love is always the best answer. I’m going to Canada. It’s not to solve any political issues. I don’t care what other peoples’ politics are or what party they side with in the eternal debates.
