I'm listening to Bill Maher in the mornings now and he had one of the Tea Party leaders on his show. He asked her what she would cut. Military was right out. Bill pointed out that the world's largest air force is the US Air Force, followed by the US Navy. She was steadfast... not touching the military... it maybe even should be increased. Okay, medicare? No. Can't touch that. I guess there are too many seniors in the Tea Party. Social Security? Can't touch that either.

A recent New York Times/CBS poll reveals some interesting information about the movement and its fundamental “principles.” According to this poll, 91% of Tea Partiers want a smaller government with fewer services. Despite this hostility to big government, 62% of Tea Partiers believe that Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are worth the cost
