40% of Tea Party supporters said they had a college degree while only 28% of the rest of the population could boast of such an accomplishment.
In addition the Tea Party is actually not dominated by older people anymore than the rest of the population.
The 18 percent of Americans who identify themselves as Tea Party supporters tend to be Republican, white, male, married and older than 45.
....from the Montana Budget and Policy Center : There are no magic bullets for solving our nation’s fiscal imbalance. These policies would force devastating cuts......
The coalition known as the Partnership for Montana’s Future is helping members frame their issues before lawmakers. Funded partially by Foundation grants, the Montana Budget and Policy Center has developed much-needed research. Advocates now have policy briefs, analysis, talking points, and a coordinated message to bolster testimony at legislative hearings.
“In the past, we often lacked information and analysis to be effective in advocating for our values in the appropriations and revenue process. This coalition has improved our ability to advocate for things we care about and get useful information to our membership in a format that allows them to more fully participate in the legislative process,” said Kim Abbott, program director, Montana Human Rights Network ....
Excellent post. I would like to add something about the big Republican push towards outsourcing.
Outsourcing is an excellent way for private corporations to suck money from the government. Outsourcing is
ALWAYS more expensive that if a government provides the services. It is easy to see why. Private companies include a little something called PROFIT in their bids. So by outsourcing, the government pays more, sometimes
way more - for less. The government provides services without that little thing called profit included in their
calculations.
According to a shocking new report, U.S. taxpayer money is being spent to study World of Warcraft, to study how Americans find love on the Internet, and to study the behavior of male prostitutes in Vietnam. Not only that, but money from the federal government is also being used to renovate a pizzeria in Iowa and to help a library in Tennessee host video game parties. These are just some of the examples in a new report on government waste from Senator Tom Coburn entitled "Wastebook 2010".... theeconomiccollapseblog.com...

European integration is the most ambitious supranational governance experience ever undertaken. It is the story of interdependence desired, defined, and organized by the Member States.

"For 10 years, William Schmidt, a statistics professor at Michigan State University, has looked at how U.S. students stack up against students in other countries in math and science. "In fourth-grade, we start out pretty well, near the top of the distribution among countries; by eighth-grade, we're around average, and by 12th-grade, we're at the bottom of the heap, outperforming only two countries, Cyprus and South Africa."

The "worm" has announced "Global Governance - 2025"
The real pivot of this struggle, imo, is the "nationalism" versus "globalism". Personally, I was raised up to young adulthood, in a religious group that hold international YHWH-ism as their highest ideal. And their modality, is exactly like the Marxists. They spy on their members, they allow no personal opinions as to rhetoric and agit prop. So the Marxist and the religionist, are often the strongest propellers behind this "Internationalism" move....
PRECISION FARMING: AGRIBUSINESS MEETS SPY TECHNOLOGY
NASA is a partner in Ag 20/20, a long-range research project that involves remote sensing.
A satellite-mounted sensor looks down on farm fields, distinguishing as many as 256 light wavelengths. Similar systems that work with land-based and plane-mounted sensors are also in the works....
The use of satellites in agriculture is already a reality. The government of the southern Pacific island of Tasmania is using GPS technology on some 600 farms as part of an identity protection pilot program, which it plans to extend to all of Tasmania's farms by 2005. In Argentina, satellite surveillance is being used to catch farmers who cheat on their taxes by underreporting the size of their fields, and to prevent them from saving seed, which is illegal there.... www.councilforresponsiblegenetics.org...
Satellite Surveillance: Environmental Applications?
Satellite surveillance is one of the fastest-growing businesses in America precisely because it helps other businesses grow Whatever your business, from geology to insurance to intelligence, you can cash in on satellite surveillance technology....
1. satellite surveillance images cover large tracts of ground. This makes such imagery ideal for government agriculture agents to monitor districts or for farmers to obtain a profile of their whole farm. Therefore, large trends can be monitored with ease. For instance, a plant parasite or disease can be tracked as it moves, giving farmers an opportunity to isolate and attack it before it progresses.
2. Each type of plant has its own reflective pattern. Therefore, two different types of crops that appear to be the same from an aerial picture would look drastically different from a multispectral scanner.
3. Plants change their reflective patterns as they mature. in many cases, these patterns have been studied and analysts can tell how far the plant has progressed and if illness or stress has retarded growth. Based on this information, analysts can tell when a crop is ready for harvesting and the potential yield. Farmers can even tell if they will harvest before their neighbors and, therefore, receive higher prices.
4. satellite surveillance images also identify the condition of the ground. An analyst can look over a large area and tell if the fields are too dry or muddy for planting. By carefully monitoring ground condition, farmers can choose their planting time and the right crops. www.surveillance-source.com...

I am sure that if the American public got a chance to actually look at where the money goes they could cut billions from the budget without touching a single "Social welfare program" or anything else the progressive socialist are screaming about.
The unreleased investigation provides seemingly definitive evidence that corruption puts U.S. transportation money into enemy hands, a finding consistent with previous inquiries carried out by Congress, other federal agencies and the military. Yet U.S. and Afghan efforts to address the problem have been slow and ineffective, and all eight of the trucking firms involved in the work remain on U.S. payroll. In March, the Pentagon extended the contract for six months.
