TEA Parties

[Urbane Guerrilla]

From here

Exerpt:

The message seems to be that since we are in a crisis, and everyone agrees "something must be done," any spending, no matter the purpose, the amount, or how obscure or even unnecessary, is to be sheepishly accepted because we are told to.

Obama said it for all on his side: "Any spending is stimulus." I don't think so!

The humongous deficits that will be enshrined in the Obama/Democrat budgets (from nearly $2 trillion per year down to around $600 billion and then increasing back to nearly $1 trillion in 10 years, according to Congressional Budget Office) will dwarf anything that has come before. People of every political stripe, except for liberals, are outraged and angry. If you're not, you should be. [Emph mine -- UG]

If you feel magnanimous and think the government deserves additional largess, no one is stopping you, on this Monday after tax day, from writing a check for however many thousands of excess dollars you have to Uncle Sam's Treasury Department.

Since the only inarguable source of economic productivity is through the private, free enterprise market, why you would think your money is better spent by Washington or Sacramento is truly beyond me to comprehend.

And some here insist I'm mad. I ain't mad -- just literate.

You get the sense the left may be coming to the realization that it doesn’t have what it takes to lead.

So if Obama had done nothing but cut taxes, like republicans wanted him to do, the economy would have barrelled downward at an alarming rate and we would be in serious depression right now, instead of showing some small signs of recovery. Hoover proved that already.

How do you figure? To this point all he has done is spend money, that doesn't really exist except on paper. So if he cut taxes and spent money that doesn't exist how would that change things for you?

I think Bush may have watered them down significantly though.

Aside from "It's Bush's fault. Have you considered any other anything? The kneejerk reaction to just blame the prior administration is getting very old.

It is a fact that Bush made the regulations weaker in California. I'm sorry, but that is the truth. You cannot deny the truth.

I have no idea what the cost of an electric car is right now. I haven't priced them because a) I can't afford a new car right now, and b) there are no plug in electric charge stations where I live. I know the Tesla is expensive, but that is a sports car, and the price is comparable to other high end sports cars.
