Did you know what the TEA party was about? Taxed Enough Already? If you are worried about the deficit quit demanding free stuff, but if I know the Trump haters on this forum you'll be voting for Bernie to get more free stuff and you'll just worry about the deficit when the next Republican is in office.
 
The Tea Party has sold what little soul it had left, after being bought by the Kochs, to Trumpism.
 
How quickly they forget. Oh hell who am I kidding, they don't forget, they ignore the truth.

I think of ton of them don't forget it all. They loved it and would do the same thing again.

They were minimized into near extinction by the corrupt Obama administration and McConnell and the other Senate Elites administered the coup de grâce by way of the 2014 election. Any remaining TP's in Congress were absorbed by those ruling Elites.

The people left out there turned to Trump as their next hope in their desire to reign in the government...to reduce the government's power...to make it smaller.

But those Elites...from both Parties are very powerful. Trump is having a rough time at it.

We'll see those former TP's rally, once again, behind Trump this November.

If you had a clue, you'd know the progressive budget balances the budget fast than the Democrats and much more than the Republicans. Of course, more billions for the billionaires is all EARNED but healthcare and education for the workers and consumers that give them that income is 'FREE STUFF' you are against. Too bad the name 'know nothings' was already used for a party.
 
I never identified with the TEA party but I am a fiscal conservative. I have said numerous times here that Trumps failure to control deficit spending is I believe his greatest policy failure. When the GOP had control of the budget for the first two years of his presidency I pointed out here their ineptitude and have often said, both parties are no different when it comes to debt and deficit spending. Its why I left the GOP in 2003.

That being said...what would you like the TEA party to do today...protest congress, specifically the House, that controls the budget?

When it comes to the president, here are the facts. Personality aside, Donald Trump...not Hilary Clinton...appointed 2 Supreme Court justices. If you are a conservative you could stop right there and the Trump presidency would be worth the vote. He may yet have the opportunity to appoint at least 1 more during this term and if reelected will appoint at LEAST 1 more almost assuredly. When it comes to federal judges, he has appointed Constitutionally conservative judges, so much so that it is believed the 9th Circuit Court...once the most radical liberal court in the country, is actually conservative leaning. Trump has tackled trade imbalances...something no other president has done and neither party nor body of congress. He has attempted peace and still working on it with North Korea...again...something no one else has even tried. He has continued to press border security. Far from an anti LEGAL administration, the current administration has focused on the illegal immigration and the previous administrations tendency to exploit the nations refugee laws in order to subvert legal immigration processes. Before he even took office Trump began meeting with businesses to promote bringing US jobs back to the country and to promote economic growth. Regardless of who you may give credit for it, the economy is booming...the markets continue to soar, unemployment rates are at all time lows, minority unemployment rates are at record lows, new business startups and small business are thriving. Trump has managed to accomplish policies that have a direct positive impact on the minority communities.

And this while dealing with a worthless do nothing GOP and a rat party committed to their hatred and resistance openly committed to fighting him solely in the name of spite. As we face a presidential election in November you have Trump and a cast of commie rat socialists that have openly committed to a socialist election agenda where they would do nothing but damage the economic success of the country, intentionally dragging it to the extreme left and true fiscal disaster.

And you think the TEA party should ignore all that and start protesting Trump?
 
For the same reason those now were silent during the Obama administration.

Yeah, both sides, because running big deficits during the largest recession since the Great Depression is same/same as cutting taxes during a booming economy and running $trillion deficits at full employment.

This is the periodic reminder that Cheney perfectly expressed GOP fiscal policy years ago: "You know, Paul, Reagan proved deficits don't matter. We won [the election. Tax cuts are] our due."

The GOP care about tax cuts! That is it, the end, anything else is just self serving blather.

This is one of the most common sense post I have seen in a while. No matter what party you support, the facts of our current economical status and the benefits thereof are indisputable. Its good to see people that recognize the administrations accomplishments and what the left is running on.

I lived through Obama's reign of terror, he pissed away money faster than anybody in history and it was never replaced.

Getting government to back off on the spending is going to take more than a Tea Party. The plan is still there and the GOP answer to Obamacare that was introduced in 2017 was evidence that the thinking still exists. The problem is getting that thinking turned into legislation. When the general mindset is that a Trillion dollar budget deficit is a minor concern and just something to campaign on one way or the other it's mighty hard to get things to change.

The GOP answer to Obamacare was "Jesus is my insurance"
