This was GENIUS, madam. I salute you, because that was hilarious, if sadly true. Witty and wonderful. I really want to crash a tea party meeting with this.

Thank you!

Schools: state or local Art: really? state or local Social Security: privatize. better returns Medicaid: state or local Disaster Relief: state or local Job Training: really? privatize Po-lice: ever hear a tea-partier say he wouldn't fund police? Medicare: state, local, or privatize. Not everything has to be administered at a federal level. and some private charities are good with helping the poor. It is obvious she is a comedian and not very knowledgeable in regard to politics.

"Po-lice: ever hear a tea-partier say he wouldn't fund police?"

Check out Scott Walker. His budget contains $76 million in cuts to his state's aid to local and municipal governments, which include services such and police and fire. He also eliminated a 2009 provision which discouraged municipalities from cutting their police and fire budgets.

So true, getting someone from the tea party to change their mind on ANYTHING is impossible, they are so rooted into their beliefs, that they become part of their identity. So to challenge anything they believe is an affront to their core belief structure, and what makes them them. Rather than celebrating new information and learning, it's better to talk out your ass but with conviction. I can't even get a tea party member to try a new flavor of pudding!

Awesome. Simply awesome.

What is your interpretation, or definition of a "Constitutionalist?"

Where do you stand on "individual" rights to bear arms? (this helps me to understand how committed to the Constitution you really are)

[CalexanderJ]

It's like Jesus said "fuck other people". LMAO

Also, that dress is hot!

[donovan93123]

um, dude, I am not a "tea-bagger". I prefer my tea loose-leaf. I like Japanese greens. And I am not a troll, I am completely serious. You see, I use logic and rationale in order to formulate ideas on how to improve society, rather than sensationalism, straw men. and ad-hominem attacks. And yeah, she's a "comedian" with a "progressive" agenda. You should expect some criticism.

I recommend Bill Hicks or George Carlin. =)

Be happy =)

um, dude, this is youtube, nobody here cares about what you think about public policy. katie goodman is a comedian. is there anywhere on the internet i can enjoy music, comedy, a movie without one of you teabagger trolls expressing your opinion? i am not saying you can't have an opinion, you have that right, and i am not saying you can't express it, you have that right too. can't you have a parade with the nazi's? why do you have to permeate my life? can'i i enjoy comedy?

Social services should be administered on as local as a level as possible. There is more accountability, less money to keep track of, less bureaucracy siphoning money, and more fair to the citizens that are paying the taxes and using the services.

Some people don't want to live in states or cities where a lot of social services are provided, others do. So we should let the people decide on how much government they want without affecting the whole country or state, when possible. 

[donovan93123]

Local governments should fund their own police force. Why would people in a small town want to pay more taxes to the state so it can be distributed to cities that require a large police force? That makes no sense and is unfair to those who live in small towns.

And why would there be a law preventing cuts from police and fire? The budget should be adjusted according to the need of the city or town. If the city doesn't need that many police or firemen, they need to cut.
