| President Bush focusing on wrong kind of
security
John Thompson; Edgewood;
Re: President Bush's State of the Union speech (TNT, 1-29):
Security is about more than international conflict. To average
citizens like me, security also means economic security.
Security means knowing that my president understands the
struggles of middle-class families as we try to put food on the
table and books in the children's backpacks. And it means knowing
that my kids will not inherit federal budget deficits because
millionaires needed a tax cut.
I need to feel secure in my country's leadership and my family's
economic future. After the president's speech, I feel neither.
