Sometimes you get what you "acted" like you wanted...in droooveesss.
The tea party will take nothing less than a Government shut down at this point, since they didn't get some magical insane number of 500b or 1 trillion dollars that doesn't touch taxes of the wealthiest, military spending, subsidies, corp tax loop holes and breaks, ect., ect.
They keep using this analogy of not living beyond your budget, as it pertains to a household. I wonder how quick they'd be to continue to use that analogy if all their elderly and disabled relatives lived with them? "I'm sorry Aunt Judy, Cousin Scott, and my brother Bob, but I'm going to drastically reduce your meds and other access to medical care...so I can get that new car and pretend to attack household finances. Uncle Don and Grandma Ruby, I'm gonna take more of your social security and disability checks so the wife and I don't have to stop going out to movies and to eat 3 times a week. We ALL gotta sacrifice more now *sniff*. The tea party want to take this "personal responsibility" and apply it to children, the elderly, and the disabled. Talk about a death panel.
They want this across the board approach, that is wholly not "across the board", and refuse to address the paradox it creates by continuing to enrich others at the expense of the most vulnerable, but insist it's the only thing we can do. Really? "Not my fault they were born whacky, they're drag'in us down man. If they can't figure out a way to capitalize on marketing their drool, then their just take'in up space."
