Letter: Good people won’t back a cruel administration for a good GDP

The Trump White House altered an EPA study to allow the use of TCE, which causes heart defects in unborn babies.

GDP won’t get voters to
back cruel administration

It almost doesn’t matter who wins the Democratic nomination (although I bleed Bernie-blue). The reason I say that is that no one with a conscience, empathy or a love of our democracy can possibly vote for the autocratic alternative.

When I read that the Trump White House altered the results of an EPA study to allow the continued use of a chemical (TCE) known to produce fetal heart defects in humans; when I read of the Trump administration’s attempts to deport millions of immigrants without any due process for the first time ever, I know that the good people of California and the nation I love could never voluntarily retain an administration this cruel and heartless just because the unemployment rate is low and the GDP is good. At least I hope not.
