Letter to the editor: Wasteful government advertising

According to the Associated Press and the Wall Street Journal, the government is running TV spots featuring President Trump. A White House spokesperson says the spots are “public service announcements reminding Americans to love their country.” A noble thought to be sure. But, at a time when the nation’s debt is in the many tens of trillions of dollars, surely there are more responsible ways to spend our tax dollars. So far these spots have cost taxpayers $430,000.
