No Math is Math, Republican Style

The Pew Research Center helpfully informed is yesterday that voters do not want to raise taxes, but they also do not want to cut government-provided services:

This is the target of the Republican philosophy for the last 30 years - a public that wants a working, functional government (both at the state and federal level), but has been taught it doesn't have to pay for it. The dirty little secret of Republican economics is that it depends heavily on borrowing, including borrowing from our economic rivals. Now, of course, Republicans are squawking about borrowing too much. But they are going to run up against some very nasty resistance from the voting public when they find out Republicans, particularly the hard-core-right Teahadists, really do want to cut the government services they like so much.

This is the Republican "no math" - economics for suckers.
