Letter to the Editor Challenging Rodino on Watergate Cynicism
A reader contests Rep. Peter Rodino’s Watergate polemic, arguing that American cynicism stems from government waste and failure rather than Watergate. The letter lists alleged mismanagement in the postal service, GSA, defense contracts, Medicare fraud, overseas trips, civil service indifference, whistleblower retaliation, CETA failures, and rising taxes. It asserts Watergate is behind us and defends constitutional principles while criticizing current governance.
