The Tea Partiers are NOT fiscal conservatives, they are bent on destroying this economy any way they can so they can rebuild from the ashes. They have no intention of doing what is good for this country or it's citizens. Their scorched earth program will bring the economy down, and sooner rather than later. I wish it wasn't so......but we are already seeing the results of their meddling into an economy they do not understand, nor do they seem to want to.
You know the Republicans won with the bill the democrats came up with..They shoulda voted that job killing monstrosity in and layed everything in our lap, but no..They wanted a little more..Now it's all on them. Talk about snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory
Bad move guys

And now the Republicans are trying to distance themselves from this bill.....no wonder....it's a horrible bill, it doesn't fix anything and actually has made things worse. IF ONLY the tea partiers had been willing to compromise in the beginning we might have a decent bi-partisan bill that actually addressed the deficit and spending problems, instead they pushed and pushed till the 11th hour and we end up with a crap bill. Oh yeah, you are dead on VL......the economy going forward is on the tea party.......I hope the republicans are happy.

Getting what we wanted would have meant a DC government limited to spending 18% of the nation's production every year instead of 25%. Getting what we wanted would have been a decrease in federal spending every year until spending met revenue instead of simply slowing down the growth rate of the spending. What we got was an agreement that can't be enforced to reduce the amount DC spends in the next decade for an immediate hike in the debt limit and no immediate increase in taxes. Given that the spending won't decrease since any future Congress is not bound by the agreement, the only part of the agreement I see that the TEA Party wanted was that tax rates wouldn't be raised. Sure, the Democrats were more than willing to agree to a floor vote on a measure they have no intention of voting for, that isn't what was asked for. What was asked for was an approval of that measure so that the citizens of the states would have an opportunity to answer it themselves, which Democrats certainly have no intention of allowing - it might take away their ability to consolidate governing into a national government after all.Vice Lord wrote: Hey!
