Dear Editor,
Jon Tester, where were you when Cadaver Biden closed down the XL Pipeline? That “executive order” caused the immediate loss of at least 11,000 jobs. You could have stepped in to “fight” for Montana and North Dakota jobs, as you continue saying you will “fight” for us. In addition, Montana and North Dakota had hard working communities/small towns, that supported those oil field jobs. It has been estimated that it takes at least three or four other vocations, e.g., as motels, gas stations/convenient stores, food stores, clothing stores, and restaurants to support those oil field workers. My math (I spent three years in 6th grade math, so I knows what I’s talkin’ ’bout) tells me that’s an additional 33,000 jobs lost, due to Biden’s and Tester’s idiotic and communist executive action. Have you no compassion for the hard-working mom with two or three kids in school that could have used that paycheck and the tips that come with several of those jobs? Then heartless Biden attaches a tax to those tips. Tips received on many of those jobs makes the difference in being able to buy a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread, or even an additional $10 for gas to get to that job. Thankfully, President Donald Trump will remove the tax on tips when he’s back in office. I’d like to ask Mr. Trump if he would be able to use the same ink pen Biden used to rescind that tax burden. Wouldn’t that be ironic poetic justice?
Mr. Tester, since you are on board for the “New Green Scam,” how will having an all-electric farm implement/farm operation work for you? Will your tractors and combines run for 12, 14 hours on extremely heavy and expensive Chinese batteries be a cost-effective option for you and other meat and grain producers?
I married into a farming family that relies solely on diesel and gas-powered implements, and actually without gas and diesel, they would have to shut down all operations. I can assure you that 100% of farmers on the Eastern half of Montana think that the Tester-Biden-AOC all battery fed farm and ranch method “ain’t gonna work, Sir.” Surprising and unbelievable to many Montanans, is that some farmers/ranchers are actually going to vote for your communist ideas. I believe that they know your votes for Biden are actually counter to American values, yet they will vote for you out of habit or just the friendship you have with them. They won’t admit to your failures, your back-stabbing!
What about 22 degrees below zero weather that has frozen your stock’s water source? Will your battery program keep those animals from dehydration during a time when they need to stay hydrated in addition to being kept warm? What about the Pork & Poultry Producers that provide our eggs and pork? Are you going to convince them they cannot use natural gas to save their stock, their business?
