Surprised you would say that since Paul Ryan, who is supported by the tea party, Is the only politician in Washington to actually come up with a plan to reduce the federal budget in a meaningful way.
I disagree that it was meaningful. More like blindly slashing things like that crazy furniture dude from Lafayette with the wild arm that goes in a circle slashes his prices. Damn I can't think of his name.
That is total bullsh!t. The Tea Partiers are regular Americans who are sick and tired of big government and out of control spending and want something done about it. I am one and we are not fking simpletons. Neither are we economists and deficit control experts. We elect people to get it done. If they won't or can't, we'll toss their asses and bring in another bunch. I cannot tell you how insulting your high and mighty characterization is. As for LaSAalle blaming tea partiers for the pending shutdown? Well, I always suspected he was dumb as a post and now he's confirmed it for me. As Red says, the blame lies with both Houses and just about every fat ass filling a seat in there.
More meaningful than anything anyone else including Obama has given us. No one will step up and cut the programs because it's suicide. If you, or the politicians that you feel best represent you, have a better plan, lay it out.
Have you ever been to a Tea Party rally? I have, and what was being discussed was getting rid of earmarks. This was being framed as a measure to eliminate the deficit. Good job Tea Party. You figured out a way to cut 8 billion dollars out of the deficit. What have you for the other 997 billion? These Tea Party candidates do not understand the Federal Budget and why it is growing the way it is. They point to crazy liberal spending, but do not even realize eliminating all the crazy liberal spending does not even put a dent in the deficit.
