<<<< Slash and burn governing is a visceral thrill but otherwise useless; the same zealots will be moaning and crying about everything that isn't being done right ten seconds after they de-fund and de-program everything they can get away with. >>>> There was an interesting program on CSPAN about a week ago about a military building built in Afghanistan. Some kind of fancy joint operating command center. But the thing is the military didn't want it. Seems now nobody wants it.Not a lot of money - 64 million. But geeez before it was occupied by a single person they are talking about tearing it down. Now some may argue that - well heck look at all the jobs it provided though. EXCEPT it was built by a British Company. Paid for by you and I and the cost of tearing it down will be paid by you and I and nobody wanted it from the start! WELL, this is a case where it should have been de-funded and de-programed. There is no monopoly here by either party. We are now a broken system. The Tea Party has a message that is worthy of our consideration. The messengers often stink and the social crap that often goes with it is awful - BUT they are given their power by those who want to bring an end to endless government spending programs.
