i've seen or heard three independent reports so far this week that

not surprising, the tea party protests are...a fraud.

I agree and I am one of the conservative folks here.
If tea party people want to attack the deficit they need to talk about
raising taxes. In the out years when our kids will be shouldering the
debt burden there will not be enough discretionary spending to touch
the deficit if we cut it all.
At some point we are really going to have to throw SS and Medicare
under the bus. Nobody is ever going to do that. They will simply
"monetize" the debt and inflate our way out. Sure you will still get
your $1700 check from SS but $100 won't cover an early bird dinner at
the Perkins.

All entitlements at the federal level should be thrown under the bus.
Let the states do entitlements and see how long they last. What we need
is a return to common sense and the teaching of liberty to our children.
