See? Told ya

The post of mine that Rush Limbaugh read on the air last week:

…the trouble with the Tea Party movement is that they tend to target their anger at only one source: Big Government.

However, angry Americans really need to face the unfaceable: that most of their fellow citizens are just as corrupt, incompetent and compromised…

Today, polls show…

62% of those polled say “the benefits from government programs such as Social Security and Medicare are worth the costs of those programs for taxpayers.”

Allahpundit notes:

Most tea partiers are older, which doubtless helps explain those numbers on Medicare and Social Security.(…)

Still, the point remains — even among the most devoutly fiscally conservative populist movement in America, self-interest trumps ideology when it comes to entitlements.
