The Mad Hatter's Tea Partynew
There is a simple underlying fact that seems to be missing in all of this talk about deficit spending––something that you can check out for yourselves without having to take my word for it––the federal budget has only been in balance or had a surplus 24 of the last 110 years.

We should be so lucky as the State of Alaska that our celebrity governor would simply resign at this point. That’s what I think of Sarah Palin’s resignation the other day –– a lucky break, and it’s what I think Schwarzenegger should do after his “line-item veto” ploy that cut another $500 million after the California legislature packed up for summer recess. The Governator claims to be forcing the state to live within its means, but in effect he is driving the Golden State right off the edge. We’d be lucky if he just resigned at this point.
