“The government-blasting Tea Party doesn’t want any changes to two of the government’s biggest programs.
The vast majority of Tea Party supporters – 70% – oppose cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, a new McClatchy-Marist poll found.
The results are somewhat in line with the feelings of registered voters as a whole – 80% oppose proposed cuts to those entitlements.
But it is something of a surprise for Tea Partiers, whose political platform is built on the principles of slashing government spending.
Medicare and Medicaid are among the country’s most expensive programs, and their projected growth is largely responsible for expanding deficit projections.
The poll revealed 92% of Democrats, 73% of Republicans and 75% of independents also oppose the cuts.
1/0 is ‘undefined’ because it doesn’t work. In the same way that me levitating doesn’t make any sense and doesn’t work. Not being able to divide my zero doesn’t mean the concept of zero is inconsistent with the laws of mathematics.
bxgrl, it’s the government payrolls that need to be slashed.
cobble, are you suggesting we bag it?
sorry, sorry. ‘Glad’ to wrap it up.
Bunch of sad sacks…
Change of topic coming right up 😀

Love his commentary.

Religion is a Hefty discussion at this time of day.

It’s overdone and none too appetizing.
