    Dems hold the Senate and the White House and there are 22 Tea Partiers in the House. Get real.

    why not close all loopholes (that's just the goverment picking winners and losers) and all income taxed the same?

    Why should someone making all of his income by a payroll pay a larger percentage of his income than someone who's doing it in the market?

    So you're saying that it's all the dems? That goes against your bible, Fox News, who is giving all the credit for the refusal to compromise to the tea party

    The problem is spending. We need to spend less...alot less. Too many people are concerned about who or what is to blame. If Casey Anthony had been convicted of murder and given the Death penalty would the little girl be any less dead?

    Our leaders need to do something and quit worrying about re-election because if the election were held tomorrow, every one of those MFers would be out on their ass.

    You want more?

    Social Security and Medicrare. There, happy?

    (patiently awaiting the "can't be done and here's why bla bla bla lecture")

    It's funny how when there's a realistic and viable cut suggested, the suggested cut is attacked relentlessly.

    A 1% cut in the budget is still a cut, and tanslates into 30-35 billion dollars that the government doesn't spend, which in turn doesn't add 30-35 billion dollars to the national debt.

    The problem won't be solved in one single blow. It will be solved one little cut at a time. Little cut + little cut + little cut + etc.......... adds up to a huge amount over time.

    That's a BS statement. I have not seen a single poll where the majority fault the tea party. You have a link?

    They drill, cap it and move onto the next one. No oil enters the market.

    Even if this were true, they employ a helluva lot of people in the process you describe.

    Kyle, you have to understand that this nut has posters of Che on his wall. You would have better results arguing with your recliner.
