Ah. I searched for it. Search options not the best here.

And yeah I wish too. The facebook link actually was really misleading. The default pic they used for the link on FB was a picture of Ron Paul with the title of "Report: Debt will swell under top GOP hopefuls’ tax plans." So it made it seem as if Ron Paul was one of them. Not to say that it should have just said Ron Paul's policies would not swell debt. But it should definitely had something like mine. Stating the other candidates policies effects, and saying Paul's is different. Of course not though.

Looking at the polls and the results of the primaries and caucuses, I'm afraid that the vast majority of Republicans - including Tea Party supporters as well as the talking heads on the right - only give lip service to cutting the debt. Do we need to be standing in bread lines before people wake up?

Yep and it will get worse and worse. Yes people have individual responsibility and are at fault. However, the system is at even more fault. They encourage this behavior and reward it. In many instances, after taxes and what not....you are making the same if not more with welfare, SSI, food stamps and the like than working a low scale job. Why work 50-60 hours a week with two jobs when you can milk the system and buy alcohol, lottery tickets and the like while sitting around all day?
