The Tea Party caused this? Tell me - how much debt spending did the Tea Party actually do? Wild spending liberals did this. They don't understand math anyway - their condescension and arrogance notwithstanding.

Or maybe you think that since the Tea Party actually made their representatives do what they said they would do - cut spending -that they are the problem. In other words, eternally expanding borrowing IS possible, according to you.

Stop reading the talking points of Obama and Dems and think for yourself. Then you'll see how ridiculous your statement above looks.

.

to be fair... the republican controlled congress going through 2006 certainly spent like crazy and helped cause this. The dem controlled congress just kept the spending going, maybe a little more hog wild.

the tea party is the only group that hasnt spent like crazy. but they have their major faults. why they refuse to close loopholes in taxes is beyond me.
