I think what Mr. Santelli is trying to tell us, after all the theatrics and arithmetic, is that nothing from behind a podium in Washington D.C makes any sense, that our politicians are the most highly paid wasters of time and money in America, and that, as he clearly pointed out, nothing is what it seems.
Our current president is constantly fighting a difficult battle for an array of new tax increases. The point Mr. Santelli was making was that he could have them all and it still wouldn't be enough to even put a dent in this unfortunate economic state we all bear on our backs. So what is really going on when everything we fight about regarding tax rates, spending, and our national debt does not even logically translate into any single means of actually addressing the full scope of the severe problems before us? It's like coming home to find your house completely demolished by a storm and, rather than beginning right away to repair it, you throw gasoline over what is left and toss a match on it first.
