End Games

I think what's easy enough to see is this huge, Sovereign-dinging massive mountain of debt we here in the U.S.A. owe to other nations; debt that this little Republic can no longer afford to continue to accrue (if you want to argue, debt we should never have allowed Democrats to create; Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare and other general welfare-for-votes schemes). A simple fact: the only way to contain this debt and stop a fiscal and physical collapse (if it's not already too late to stop it) would be the TEA Party's suggestion to Cut, Cap and Balance, and try to restore what we should never have abandoned: a Federal policy of fiscal sanity.

If you want to save this Republic, the TEA Party is the only way; eventually it must come to severe budget and program and agency cutting, capping the debt ceiling and balancing the Federal budget every year. Austerity programs may be necessary; in other flat-broke countries those sorts of austerity programs lead to riots and demonstrative outbursts. Here, such outbursts (likely to occur first in the Democratically-controlled overpopulation centers: NYC, LA, Chicago, Philadelphia &c.) will be more violent, deadly even. Unfortunately. From that violence could spring government tyranny, and from that tyranny...Katy bar the door.

We are in the end game of this. The next steps may well lead to an upheaval you'll wish you hadn't hoped for.
