And over on Twitter,
At a Thursday town hall meeting in Wauconda, Illinois, Tea Party Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) railed against defense cuts and entitlement programs, telling attendees that Americans refuse to have a discussion about how best to rein in the nations deficit and debt. But when Walsh asked how Americans planned to pay for those programs, he was caught off guard by a quick answer from one of the events attendees:
WALSH: This country, for years, has put off the discussion, how are we going to pay for that? Lets have the discussion!
MAN: Lets tax the rich.
WALSH: Lets tax the rich, they say! (Applause) All Im saying is
MAN: We used to!
WALSH: Dont know where youre going to get the money.
