6. Ending social spending is always the ultimate goal of a Republican tax cut

Here's where it gets fun: Medicare and Social Security are paid for by their own taxes. If the Republicans get rid of those two programs to try to unfuck the economy, how long will it take for the 'baggers to notice that they're paying for something they will not receive? They'd be absolutely right. So, would they keep income tax the same, eliminate the payroll tax and fuck the economy further, or increase income tax by the amount the payroll tax currently brings in?

And is it possible to impeach a president for lies told on the campaign trail?
