"Am I the only one who thinks November the forth should be the date for a new Tea Party?"

"God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.... what country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?"

Thomas Jefferson

I wonder if we can ever restore the republic to the principles upon which it was founded.

The "Tea Party" comment was aimed at Congress in general. If him/her meant Hodes/Porter, I knew they "Nay"ed this one, but each have a sort of "porker" history. Otherwise, I love your comments. Like we say at work to change what might turn into a heated discussion; "How's the family?"

It's simple really...

How many people like your daughter are there in the US and how many of them are running for office, as well as voting for them?

To these people, it doesn't matter how the bill will be paid, as long as they get what they need (or, more properly, desire) now. These people are gearing up to elect a President just like that this November. It's downright scary.

As for the recent turn of events in DC, just the name itself should have been a dead give away to what this whole fiasco was about: "bailout". Who exactly are we bailing out? Hard working, penny pinching Americans, or lazy, arrogant, "entitled" Americans? I don't wonder why there are so many bad mortgages when people who could ill afford a house were being granted those mortgages. Why should I pay the bill to bail out these irresponsible people? I only spend what I can afford. Period. Doesn't seem like rocket science to me.

Why do we keep expecting the government to fix our mistakes, then cry over the raise in taxes to foot the bill?

Pork has always been on the menu in Washington. Next time you're chastising a politician because of his voting record, make sure that politician wasn't actually voting against the pork rolled up between those slices of bread and mustard before condemning him/her.

My Goodness, Brian!

Your rant sounds like Common Sense. Here I was worried Common Sense was dead.

My mother grew up during the Depression and had to eat mustard sandwiches. As a result my sensibilities have been influenced by many of her penny-pinching habits.
