To the editor: I just finished reading your latest editorial “Crosstalk” rant against liberals and how they are responsible for the failure of Republicans to repeal and replace Obamacare. (“Truth Lies Behind Narrative”, August 8, 2017). After eight years of promising to repeal it, Republicans were unable to get anything passed. They themselves own that failure.

To the editor: A friend called my attention to a superb editorial published in The Dalles Chronicle regarding the “Economics of Addition” in the Dialogue section, Sept. 24.
