The Tea Party doesnt want to spend any money," he said. "They dont care if doctors stop seeing patients."
That sentence, as well as most of the article, is outright false and ridiculous, as I see it. Easy trap to fall into, the way it is worded and phrased by those who have an agenda.
It is not the Tea Party cutting anything. They aren't even an official organization like Dems or Repubs. They are just millions of regular people who are sick and tired of Washington fraud and negligence in handling my money.
The cuts are from the negotiations, so both Dems and Repubs are to blame.
This is such an old but trustworthy scare tactic to convince you that you cannot live on your own without uncle sam holding your hand.
There are billions if not trillions of dollars of waste on really ridiculous programs, grants, and duplication of services, extravagant offices, million dollar limosines....I mean, come on, there is so much stuff to cut without hurting anyone....except themselves....which is why they don't do it. Instead they cut where it should not be cut. Medicare can be fixed better than ever without any cutting of anything except washington's negligence in handling other people's money.
I am not of the Tea Party. But I can say, I am for anyone who happens to feel like the Pilgrims who were willing to die in order to stop taxation without representation and to have a small limited government that everyone should have equal opportunity to strive (or not) for prosperity and happiness. That just happens to be the Tea Party basically.
One example. Any successful private business management company that took over the Medicare system would probably be able to run it twice or three times better than it currently is, on the existing budget. Washington is so much waste, they are willing to cut aid to those who need it the most in order save their own rearends.
