Taking money out of the private sector creates jobs?
Do tell.

To let us collapse is not logical. A percent cuts means the burden is being applied to all. If you do not try it this way then the special interests will all lobby to save themselves from budget cuts. then whoever is in power at the moment will save their constituents from budget cuts while applying budget cuts to those not in their favor. that kind of stagnation will not save us from the spending monster. I know i had to take a pay cut and that pay cut was applied equally to all that were employed. I then had to make budget cuts and i chose to do so from each area of my budget. the one thing we could not cut is interest debt payment

Gee, sure would be a terrible thing if all programs were cut equally because liberals wouldn't get the chance to squeal like pigs every time spending was reduced on one of their sacred programs.

Let's start with DoD, DHS & Discretionary and see what it gets reduced to, after the lobbyists swarm. Maybe 5% or less, then match that to others.

Lightbulb A liberal columnist : The Tea Party Is Winning

That's just a typo.

Substitute Whining for "winning."

The Tea Party is winning. Our local tea party continues to grow as more people see how the left's wet dream of socialism fails every time. They have good examples from history.

I agree. Liberalism, destroying countries around the world. We have a few Democrats in our Tea Party. We don't always agree on things but they still keep coming.

It's important to Tea Party to have more minority members, because they need to represent all Americans (except liberals, because they love to spend borrowing money )

Sadly, what most Americans "understand" has been carefully crafted by the World's Greatest Propaganda Ministry.
For example, according to the law, a "dollar bill" is not money - it's an IOU denominated in dollars (debt). It was declared worthless in 1933 - over 77 years ago.

Personally, I'd prefer that Americans would demand their public servant government to:
  1. end the 77 year long STATE OF EMERGENCY,
  2. amend the USCON to remove sec.4, 14th amendment prohibition on questioning the validity of the public debt,
  3. void the public debt on the grounds of impossibility to repay,
  4. abolish FICA, based on the fraud used to induce consent,
  5. repatriate all American military men and material,
  6. repeal all laws that implemented the ten planks of the communist manifesto,
  7. amend the USCON to restore the Senate election to the States,
  8. indict all public officials who collaborated on the counterfeiting of American coin, and
  9. truly support the republican form of government, promised in Article 4, Section 4, USCON
  10. cease enforcing any contract for usury in a court of law, in the U.S.A.
