Those people really scare me, because they would kill my son if given a chance. :( And my best friend. And the nice neighbor lady down the other street that sorts out my garden stupidity for me and undoes the damage I do to it.

>>>completely wing-nutty crazy

I object. I was at the April 15 tax protests and I'll be at the July 4 tax protests, and I don't consider myself wing-nut crazy. In fact I'm the opposite of that (calm, rational, quiet). I think you're committing prejudice - prejudging a whole group of people as "wing-nutty" instead of judging them as individuals.

Fair enough; let's assume that only a percentage of the protesters were actually crazy. So essentially, we have a group of people who never protested during the eight years of the Bush administration. Within the first three months of President Obama taking office, he started the process of making tax cuts and issuing credits that benefited most people making less than $250K a year. Shortly after that, people came out to protest about taxes being raised by 'teabagging'. Unlike the type that involves the ol' balls-on-chin, this involved them sending teabags to the White House ( ... )

And increasing the national debt from $110,000 to $150,000 per American home during the next four years. That's what the protests are about. We don't want any more debt that will, eventually, have to be paid off. By our children. Why do we want ot lay this burden on our children?I think this is the crux of the matter to me; I don't see a good solution. In this case, I'm willing to gamble on the Obama plan because it seems like the least shitty solution (well, before it was gutted in the Senate). Leaving debt for us or future generations is robbing Peter to pay Paul, but I'm hoping we can use Peter's money to actually get ourselves back to a point where we can pay off both of them ( ... )
