It would be really interesting to go to a tea party meeting and take a poll of how many there are collecting government money in some form including social security, medicade, SSI, disability from military service, government jobs or retirement from government jobs. Tea Party rabble apparently want to slash government budgets such as the Endowment for the Arts that is only a drop in the bucket for the national debt. The reason we are in the hole is primarily because George Bush got us into two wars that we had no bussiness being in and then refused to pay for them and to make matters worse he cut taxes on the top 2% of the tax payers who promptly used the money to further enrich their lives and export more jobs to other countries. If the tea party loyal really want to ballance the budget then they should refuse to accept any government money and make it on their own. Refuse to take free scooters and home delivered oxygen and pay their own medical bills. But I forgot they are entitled to socialized medicine but not others. The real pork in the federal budget is wars and aid to countries that hate us. Lets bring the troops home, put them on the borders to secure this country and build bridges and hospitals in this christian country and let the other countries take care of themselves. Why we let somailies and other muslims that hate and want to kill us to move here is something I will never understand. Leif Ronning
