During 2010, the Tea Party got the attention, but the election revolt against bailouts, subsidies, and spending came from all sides. Voter sentiment hasn’t changed much — but you wouldn’t know that from the action on the House floor last week, when renewing Export-Import Bank subsidies for big business was the order of the day. If the overwhelming vote to reauthorize the bank is any guide, many in Congress think the widespread disdain for subsidies has run its course.

speaking of PRO-SUBSIDY, i don't have to go to washington to find out how bad tax giveaways can be. john, would you believe our very own governor and mayor bestowed upon LIBERTY MUTUAL a 10s of million dollar present. the globes former practitioner of the lost art of journalism that would be a certain MR. MCGRORY said that the $46.5 MILLION DOLLAR TAX SUBSIDY to LIBERTY MUTUAL was GIVEN by the taxpayers of this city and state. wrong. it was TAKEN AND PAID FOR BY AND FROM THE TAXPAYERS and GIVEN throgh tje largesse of 2 people named PATRICK AND MENINO with more than a little help from our always gutless boston city council presided over at that time by the darling of the cocktail party circuit a certain MIKE ROSS and a supposed city watchdog by the name of SAM TYLER and a huge lot of silence from a moribund press including but not limited to the above mentioned MCGRORY. ma
