I kind of agree with that and it's sad. I do think America is waking up a bit as demonstrated by the Tea Party. But right now it would be nearly impossible for a platform of raising taxes, to pay down the debt while eliminating most every government program to do the same to be successful. The problem is no one ever refuses a benefit and even if they do (as in the case of Wisconsin's rail money) it's immediately and mindlessly given to someone else.

The fact Obama threatened the military and seniors of not getting their checks unless the ceiling is raised and then the first thing he does once he receives the loan is send $100,000,000.00 to Somalia is sickening! We are broke and sinking and this guy is throwing our life vests off like he's trying to feed the birds.
