"Republicans need to be having a cage fight to see who can best eliminate all the government waste." -- Judson Phillips, founder of Tea Party Nation.

WTF? "Eliminate waste"?? Every politician running for national office since I was a wee lad have promised to "eliminate waste, fraud and abuse." Hasn't happened and never will happen because it is way too easy to make tons of money in the government racket.

Judson, if you want to make inconsequential nibbles around the edge of the problem, then go home. You should have said they need to debate eliminating whole departments that do nothing but ruin America. EPA, Dept. of Energy, Dept. of Education, and Commerce would be good starters.

And since Gov. Rick Perry is already facing down the EPA and the Dept of Ed and the trial lawyers — he’s got the inside track.

“...whole departments that do nothing but ruin America. EPA, Dept. of Energy, Dept. of Education, and Commerce would be good starters.”

Totally agree.
Then change the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of WAR (as pre-1950). Staff it with US Military veterans and release the other bureaucrats.
