Congratulations to the Teahadists! You succeeded where others failed. The Stock Market is down 500 points today. You brought back Hoovernomics- the philosophy that government works best when the budget is balanced, even in times of recession or depression. You brought back Hoovernomics, not because most sane people wanted it, but because you threatened to blow up the economy (by not allowing the government to raise the debt ceiling and allow it to pay its bills). You got what you wanted and the economy is diving into a hole! The budget is being cut by trillions of dollars with no new revenue. Incredibly Stupid during a Major recession where unemployment is above 9%. This will go into the Record Books as one of the stupidest things ever done by Congress! Everyone is worried that we are headed to another recession BECAUSE OF YOU! WHY THE HELL DIDN"T YOU LISTEN TO US. You listened to FOOLS - Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh?? Even Wall Street knew you were wrong!
AND WE TOLD YOU SO!!!!!
YOU DID NOT LISTEN TO US!!!
EVEN WALL STREET KNOWS IT DOES NOT WORK!!!
Economics 101 - DO NOT BALANCE A BUDGET DURING A RECESSION>
Yes, that is the rule of Economics- when the economy is in trouble, it is government's responsiblity to take up the slack, to help get people JOBS, to spend more!.
MY goodness people, we learned this back in the 1930s.
SO Congratulations to all Tea Partiers. Celebrate now.
THIS may be your last hurrah. Your time is OFFICIALLY over. Go back to where you came from and get back to your teabagging. BECAUSE we don't want your BS anymore!
