Those aren't slogans, Sat...those are me describing the Federal Government in my own words. Trying to paint those quotations as Tea Party "slogans" simply illustrates that you don't have any examples to give.
I'm sorry that you disagree with my verbiage, but I recognize the rhetoric when I see it. As I said, I'll continue to paint them red to show what I'm talking about.
Then WHAT are you harping about? You do have a job, correct?
Some would consider increased responsibilities without increase in pay, an actual cut.
Salaried 'Professionals' in the private sector work way more than 40 hours a week.
I work both in public and private sector, so I have a unique insight that I believe many others may not.
Uh, we're discussing the Wisconsin recall. Does it have to happen to me personally before I'm allowed to say anything?
"I'm all in favor of greater efficiencies, but I have yet to see the TP ask for fiscal sanity. They want to gut programs and cut taxes."
The Tea Party IS in favor of cutting spending. To progressives like yourself that translates into "gutting programs". You make that charge even though a bi-partisan committee charged with looking into government waste named billions of dollars being spent by the Federal Government on programs that duplicated other government programs. You say you're in favor of greater "efficiencies" but then consider any calls for cuts to be an attempt to "gut" programs. How do you become efficient without eliminating waste?
When you talk about turning Medicare into a voucher program, and public schools into voucher programs, and privatizing roads, you're gutting government programs.
Are you for or against those things?
