Crazy, indeed

This will repeat a point I made earlier:

Let's say these "tea parties" are wildly successful. Let's say Obama and congress essentially say "you win, tell us what to do."

What, then?

And please, no platitudes, no bullshit.

Just a list: x, y, z.

Because it seems to me that the major "point" is to protest taxes. So it seems that the Obama tax cut is not enough, so how much of a tax break would be enough? And what should be cut to offset that?


Any protest without a point is useless. And so far I have not seen anyone say "let's cut X" or "Y" without it being some completely bullshit thing that simply doesnt add up.

If none of these protests say "cut medicare," or "cut SS" or "cut military" they are nothing more than pathetic tantrums. The equivalent of a 2 year old screaming "but I wanna...."
