That is what they say. What it really is is a movement financed by the Kochs to starve the government into reducing the taxes, especially of the mega rich.
President Obama saved this country from a really major depression by priming the pump. The experts agreed that this recession would take seven years to recover from,and it is going away faster than predicted.
Most of the problems of this county have been caused by runaway MILITARY spending. We have bases all over the place that are not needed. We get involved in wars that were caused by idiots at the CIA. Fools like the Dulles brothers, dolts like MacNamara and Westmoreland, doofuses like Reagan and Olebush and imbeciles like Cheney, Rumsfeld and Juniorbush. We spend more on "defense" than the rest of the countries on this planet COMBINED. And every time we have a war, there are veterans that are maimed and must be supported, widows and orphans, refugees and billions pissed away on weapons and munitions.
I have no use for the teabaggers. They are ignorant and proud of it. They are puppets and unaware that they are being manipulated. They are misguided lumpenproletarians.
