The post of mine that Rush Limbaugh read on the air last week:
…the trouble with the Tea Party movement is that they tend to target their anger at only one source: Big Government.
However, angry Americans really need to face the unfaceable: that most of their fellow citizens are just as corrupt, incompetent and compromised…
Today, polls show…
62% of those polled say “the benefits from government programs such as Social Security and Medicare are worth the costs of those programs for taxpayers.”
Allahpundit notes:
Most tea partiers are older, which doubtless helps explain those numbers on Medicare and Social Security.(…)
Still, the point remains — even among the most devoutly fiscally conservative populist movement in America, self-interest trumps ideology when it comes to entitlements.
