1. Unfortunately true

I don't believe a lot of voters actually thought out for two seconds what the "tea party" proposals meant. The damage is going to be significant and it will take years to rebuild...if

if

if we can overcome the massive infusion of corporate dollars that will be spent to keep them in office.

3. They all think there are "trillions of dollars" of waste

They get told of some million dollar study of worm poop on the radio and are told that such waste is all that is needed.

4. Well, the Pentagon did "misplace" a few trillion, but no cuts for them ...

Try to cut off the corporate welfare for the defense industry, and it's spun as "Defunding Americas's Soldier's ... In Wartime!".

Never mind that it's overpriced Strangelove weapons programs that are targeted, not the soldiers in the field.

2. Why don't those who are calling for drastic social cuts

start by quitting their jobs and cutting off their own (figurative) limbs?
