Kudos to Mr. Norquist and the Tea Party for seeing America's real necessities by putting the flying public at the top of important things for the survival of our great country.
Food, shelter, military, protection, health, education, and many others can wait in line and absorb budget cuts to balance the budget because they don't make as big a fuss as the flying public.
Be careful what you wish for, You just might get it.
P.S. When your children and grandparents get hungry just put them on an airliner!
