Why are these social programs on auto pilot? you know and why.
Which party demagogues the other when the new fiscally conservative members (say tea party) wants to reduce spending.

You know the answer. Demos want huge social spending and high taxes, Repubs want a huge military industrial complex and low taxes, and the tea party wants to fix it by lowering spending and freezing taxes and they are the ones attacked by both parties. Gee .. is that fair? I dont think so.
