BOSTON, MA—The wave of fiscal conservatism being called for by American citizenry and reigning in of government started may have started in 1773, but after being dormant for 223 years, it resurrected when republicans lost in 2006 due to their reckless spending trends and has gained momentum since.
The republican majority congress, along with a republican president engaged in deficit busting spending and when American voters gave the majority to democrats in 2006, they responded by continuing the trend. In 2009, President Obama more than doubled down on fiscal irresponsibility in sixteen months.
The net result is the new Tea Party movement, which polls show is comprised of different party affiliations and political philosophies who have greatly tired of taxation without representation—the Tea Party (an acronym for Taxed Enough Already) exists precisely because elected officials refuse to represent their constituency. TARP was the first act of misrepresentation, then stimulus, followed by health care reform.
Because Washington seems to be dead set on not representing the American people, the movement has formed and will have its voice heard come November—and this time, they cannot be ignored.
