Again, i'm going to state that it is the same rhetoric that the Dems and GOP play and have been playing within the media since as long as I've been reading politics going back to Jimmy Carter days. It doesn't matter if it's true or not, it's a matter of them taking a position within the media and keeping that position, no matter the facts.
With regards to the tax cuts, they way that I understand the tea parties when I read what people are suggesting is that the increased spending WILL become increased taxes in some fashion in the future.
If you don't agree that that is the case, please explain to me where you see that the bailout monies will be paid for. Let me remind you that we paid the Federal Excise Tax for the Spanish American war from 1898 - 2006, well over the costs. So while it wasn't collected by the government directly, I'm not so interested in paying any extra fees to buy a car, get a mortgage, transact within my 401k. I'm not interested in a future VAT or federal sales tax.
So, where does the money come from?
