    Mmm, but if you read the high priests of "starve the beast," such as Grover Norquist, you will see that their idea is that our government will borrow and borrow until there is a Greek-style debt crisis, at which point we will face massive cuts and social unrest, and in the heat of the revolution everyone will turn to Good Conservative Values.

    It's all quite apocalyptic.
