Deficit Explodes Stock Market Plunges; Where's the Tea Party?

[PC2]

During Obama's tenure they came up with the sequester and even went as far as saying they would not spend one dollars without another dollar taken as cuts. When Obama was president republicans in congress did push austerity.

I know, Republicans didn't want to spend money on things Democrats wanted. When Republicans have Congress they'll spend more on what they want like military. Republicans should have a leaner government message. Restraint and discipline are hard when borrowing is easy.

I suggest tuning to C-SPAN rn, Rand Paul is beating the living shit out of Republican's positions and is probably going to become the reason the shutdown starts.

Well either way the whole party of fiscal responsibility thing is dead now we can lay it to rest next to the whole family values thing republicans used to tout.

I'm 100% certain that when dems get back in power republicans will suddenly care about debt and spending.

They're waiting for their marching orders from conservative media. Blame Obama in 3...2...1.

Debt only matters when it's a Democrat in office, silly!

Where's the Tea Party

The son of the original tea party, before the neo-cons jumped in.

[Lenonis]

The GOP lost any sort of fiscal responsibility nonsense when they were all in for Medicare part D, two wars, and tax cuts.

The GOP is fiscally irresponsible and have been the cost of most of the financial problems the federal budget has faced.

Unfortunately since their voters are also the least likely to explore viewpoints other than their echo chamber they will never learn the truth about their party.

Both parties are fiscally irresponsible.

[Elegiac]

Both parties are fiscally irresponsible.

The deficit has been decreased twice in the past three decades, both under Democratic administrations. Try again.

[Xeones]

Both parties are fiscally irresponsible.

Well that is simply not true.

I'm glad I don't have any stake in the national debt. I feel sorry for the next generation though. I'm glad as hell that I never had any kids, and everything I own is going to be donated to a cat shelter when I die.

[Daelak]

Well that is simply not true.

Fables are all he has left.

Funny how conservatives whine about the debt under liberal presidents,

Funny how Liberals only whine about the dept under conservative Presidents.

There's a difference between whining and pointing out hypocrisy.

The debt is only an issue because conservatives make it so, largely as an excuse to further their real goal; that being dismantling social programs.

Rand Paul is a liberal? Chaffetz is a liberal? Damn you must be so woke to see that.
