Dear Editor:
First I want to say thanks for your article on "Is it finally time to legalize pot?" (Editor's Letter, by Pat Tracy, Burnaby NOW, Feb. 17).
And this time I want to expand my dislike towards the politicians who are ignorantly blaming the retired people for causing financial problems.
My first objection is that they are setting a wedge between the young and the retired. Very wrong and can cause problems on the long run!
Further, no one talks about the world's overpopulation, and I think that has effect on unemployment and hunger and homelessness.
Why do politicians think that the economy can grow and expand forever?
This is the biggest hoax of our time.
I assume it came from those who established the present banking and financial system since they removed the gold as backing of the paper money and established the deficit financing.
My grandfather used to say in the old country: Poplar trees do grow tall, but they never reach the sky.
We need professional people to manage this country and not a bunch of argumentative people being elected.
L. Novotny, Burnaby
