Actually, I'm not being too inconsistent.. just trying to be balanced in my views.... I think we do need to address these economic problems by restraining growth of entitlement programs (not by slashing them like they don't matter at all). Trouble is, everyone that thinks govt should spend less balks at specific changes that would affect their interests, so nothing is getting done. The Tea Party proposes to reduce the size of govt, but instead has made process of governing grind to a dangerous halt. That will be bad for us in ways we can't completely predict.

But the proper way to interpret my comments is to remember that I have a bias against all those hyper-conservative & reactionary politicians in the Right Wing. At this point, I'd say their obstructionist tactics are threatening to all of us... and the politicians who were swept in during the Tea Party phenomena are part of the problem. Their presence has inflamed the Left, though not to the same degree because the Left isn't as well organized... leading to more polarization & inability to make important public policy choices. Compromise is not a dirty word in my book. It may be the only way out.
