The way to handle this is to ask Teabaggers at every opportunity whom they are willing to cut
out of the budget, in order to abate the estate tax and to keep tax cuts for incomes over 250K.

Make them say what programs/services and who gets cut and how much each cut will reduce the deficit. Make them write it down and add it all up. Don't accept meaningless bullshit anymore; they have to say exactly what their budget would be.

8. S/he didn't seem to get that my point wasn't whether/how much they would cut, but WHAT exactly
they're going to tell others to do without and, of course, what they're NOT going to tell certain other others not to go without. Game over!

5. Just remember that this is all a smoke screen
for the RW trying to create their own version of MoveOn.org. They are trying to create a grassroots money raising machine that can compete with what liberals and the Democrats have.

And, of course, to keep the heat off of themselves for the economy.
