Who Owns The Debt and Deficit

It cracks me up to no end when you see Republican's demanding that we pay the debt when the man sitting in the White House is a Democrat. If you actually take the time to look at all the facts of where that debt came from and who actually authorized it, it was Republican Presidents! President Reagan started the steam roller of financial unbalance by selling the US Treasury to the highest bidder with his military build up and tax cutting giveaways to the top income earners in the country. Racking up $2 Trillion in debt but the nation was proud to fly the flag again. President Bush senior followed the gospel according to Ronnie and continued the Wimpy of Popeye fame tradition of "I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today."

Along comes President Clinton and WORKING with a Republican Congress he balances the budget and actually has a plan to pay the ENTIRE NATIONAL debt off within ten years. The Treasury is running a surplus for the first time in decades but that is a bad thing to Republican's and the nation and we elect Bush Jr. who gives all the credit card payments to his buddies in the top 5% of income earners in the form of tax cuts and then opens up two wars and drives the national debt through the roof in two terms.

And the nation reacts to that by going into a recession and elected a Democrat to change the course. But if you look at all of the facts that the Republican's are espousing, President Obama is the cause of $14 Trillion in debt? It has nothing to do with President Bush scrubbing President Clinton's plan to pay off all of the debt? It has nothing to do with three Republican President's that went on drunken spending spree's. Obama owns it all. Is this more stereotyping from the extreme right where the black guy is always the one to blame? Total GOP bull crap and ridiculous!



Think about it.

Tea Party Rabid Pitt Bull

No offense to Pitt Bull’s but the Tea Party is the rabid beast of the Republican Party. In the post election of President Obama, Republican’s have reached out for the passion of the Tea Party activists to try and win back as much of the political spin that they need to win control back of the house or senate. Unfortunately, they did not check to see if the Tea Party had its rabies shots. They pretty much hugged that puppy, fed it, and set it free among the party.

I’ve been trying to sum up in my own head what the Tea Party actually stands for and it is no better than extremist that come from the left side of the aisle if you overlook the spelling problem that most Tea Party folks have. The Tea Party is tantamount to a three year old throwing a tantrum till the Republican party people listen to them and then they decide to throw several other tantrums just because they can. And as long as the Republican’s play favorite child with the loony right, then they deserve to have a rabid dog in their living room.

What is more ironic and idiotic is that nobody is really in charge of the Tea Party nationally and thus it never will have one unified message. That pretty much makes the whole Tea Party movement impotent politically and according to some reports the GOP is trying to distance itself from the so called Tea Party grass root followers.

If you think about it, only Palin, Beck, and Limbaugh think the movement is worth their time but if you really look and think about their actions then you see a different picture. Palin is dreaming that she will actually be a contender candidate for President in two years time but her own political party is moving away from her self defined controversy. Nobody that extreme will ever have a chance at the White House because you need the middle of both political parties to get elected and frankly she is bat shit nuts! Beck and Limbaugh are money making machine entertainers so realistically they would raise Ronald Reagan from the dead if they could make a buck off of him. And they both have admitted to being entertainers and NOT political figures. I can understand that because I’m a blogger and not a political leader. But I’m no where near the pay grade of Beck and Limbaugh.

What does all of this mean for the November elections when it comes to the Tea Party movement? For Republicans it is a self inflicted shot in the ass simply because the people that actually vote will never buy bullshit and extreme right or left political badgering. Voters know what a rabid dog looks like. You don’t give that puppy a hug and kiss, and you certainly do not feed it and the GOP is facing that problem in November. Extremism works at rallies but just doesn’t seem to fit in the voting booth.
