Boehner and the so-called Tea Party tried to destroy the U.S. Economy, and for what end? Strife, turmoil and uncertainty; things that serve only the short-sellers, and which causes major indicies to plummet, like what we all saw with open eyes. The Federal Reserve is holding interest rates at zero, and predicts a slow but sure recovery. No kidding. With banks not lending, the resiliency of the American Consumer is the only thing that will propel a decent recovery, slowly but surely, but not nearly as robust as it could be if the Open Market Committee tied interest rates to inflation, currently at about two-and-a-half percentage points.
Where was the Tea Party when the previous Administration was raping the country out of 17-trillion dollars; nearly the entire U.S. economy?
Better days lie ahead, because this too shall pass when the Republicans become a non-entity in 2012. Americans do not have short memories, and I now predict President Obama will get more votes in 2012 than in 2008, and the opposition will be in shambles, and they will all have to go home.
