Glad election's over

To the Editor:

Hooray, the election is finally over and now we will just have to wait and see how many of these promises the politicians will keep that they have been making.

It will seem good to be able to watch our TV shows without being interrupted by political ads. It seems that at every election the politicians spend more money on TV and newspaper ads.

Some of the jobs like being president actually pays only a small fraction of what it costs to be elected.

I suppose that special interest groups and other requests for handouts contribute to extra money they receive but I guess when you stop and think about it, we are much better off in the old U.S.A. than being under a dictatorship where one man rules the roost and no one has a say in anything.

God Bless America.

Sincerely,

Vance Bacon
