The Tea Party Republicans who were elected in November of 2010 are entirely to blame for this fiasco. Bigots who didn’t like the idea of a half-black president and conservatives who do not like any sort of social programs that actually help people unless it benefits them personally (like public schools, roads, parks, libraries, police protection) but never saw a war they didn’t love elected them so to rape these social programs.Their first acts have been to try to pass anti-choice legislation to attack women and take us back to the old coat hanger days and to attack senior by scrapping social security and Medicare. When the debt ceiling question came up, there would have been NO problem raising it to pay the debts the USA ALREADY owes as required by the 14th Amendment if the Democrats had still been in control of the House.

Socialists like Terri are what is bringing this country down. The Tea Party did exactly what the people that elected them wanted them to do. Narrow minded bigots, such as Terri, want the class warfare to stay in power. They do not care how much their tax and spend destroys our economy. Their welfare policies have never worked, they just suck the will to strive for a better life out of the people. An economy where 49% of the people pay no income taxes can not sustain itself. When you finish taxing the rich, and they either have nothing left to take, or have all fled the country, who will be left to pay for your give away programs?
