Give me a link showing the Tea Party influence is growing. You won't find one...but I will wait. If interest rates rise, due to the Tea Party dogma, voters are not going to forget. They will defiitely pay. Never before in US history has a party held the debt ceiling hostage, as they have. It could become ugly for them...
Everybody who is not a retard knows that it is the BO and his minions holding up the process.....repubs have submitted responsible plan after plan....Dims keep shelving them and then calling repubs "hostage" takers.....pure unadulterated BS...
Any Plan that forces the Middle Class and lower to make all the additional sacrifices(in the way of SS and Medicare cuts), while the wealthy get away with no additional sacrifice in the way of closing loopholes and whatnot is not responsible, it's just more oligarchical pandering.
Once again... when Obama talked about $4T over 10 years of cuts with minimal Revenue increases(the Corporate Jet type stuff), why did the Tea Party and GOP walk away from that kind of offer? Answer... because it's not really about the debt. It's about Ideology and Politics.
When was this scored? I missed that. I missed the plan altogether, though I did hear of 'talk', no action.
