Letters to the Editor

Shutdown halts key programs like Medicaid and Rural Energy for America Program, cutting vital support to 900 rural hospitals and farmers, officials say.

  • This past week, the federal government has ground to a halt and rural America feels it first and worst, with rural hospitals asking how long they can keep the lights on.
  • Policy choices in Washington reallocated benefits to a pilot program for large corporate agricultural operations while Medicaid and REAP are being paused, critics say.
  • Local economies, which rely on federal programs, face losses as REAP pauses, leaving farmers and small businesses without expected support for solar barn projects.
  • Amid the stalemate, farmers, families and small-town residents say they merit better than partisan collateral, and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has broken from her party to prioritize health care access.
  • Clarifying a common misconception, writers note that undocumented immigrants face a civil violation, not a crime, using a speeding analogy, while critics warn that rhetoric of an 'enemy within' deepens division.
