I hope this letter finds you well — or at the very least, awake. I'm writing with a mix of disbelief and déjà vu as I watch former President Trump — or as he seems to prefer these days, The Mad King of Mar-a-Lago — continue his crusade to dismantle every ounce of economic stability ordinary Americans have managed to cling to. Apparently, it’s not enough to torch the Constitution and our international credibility; now he’s coming for our retirement and education investment accounts, too. Because obviously, what the country really needs right now is fewer savings and more chaos. Call me old-fashioned, but I always thought the point of 401(k)s and college savings plans was to help people build a future — not bankroll whatever gold-plated moonshot or vanity project he’s dreaming up in between golf rounds. But hey, what do I know? I'm just one of millions of constituents who had the audacity to plan ahead. So I have just one teeny-tiny question: when, exactly, is Congress going to stop him? Or is the plan to continue issuing "strongly worded statements" while Rome burns and the retirement accounts of schoolteachers and nurses get turned into confetti? Please understand: this is not just a letter. It’s a flare. A last-resort scream into the void, asking you and your colleagues to show some actual spine before we all have to start storing our savings under mattresses and teaching our kids to barter in a post-truth, post-retirement wasteland. Looking forward to your vague, noncommittal response.
