Solutions seem worse than the problems

To the editor:

Where in the world do we get our politicians?

Problem: Getting most of our oil from nations that hate us and want to kill us.

Solution: Lock up our Gulf oil and all Alaska’s proven oil fields to protect our over-populated caribou herds and our million-plus mosquito ponds.

Problem: Our southern borders are over-run with illegal aliens and drugs.

Solution: Put 35,000-plus U.S. Army troops all along the border in South Korea.

Problem: We are sending hundreds of our prisoners outside at the cost of millions of state dollars.

Solution: Build a $430 million-plus prison in Alaska, then upon completion tear it down because it costs us too much.

Is there a politician-moron-boob college somewhere I do not know about?
