The official end of the Tea Party

Remember that movement? Ah, the good ole days.

The story begins a decade ago, when a budget deficit that had declined to a modest $161 billion by 2007 was hit with the Great Recession.
Horrified by Washington spenders, CNBC’s Rick Santelli stood on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange on February 19, 2009, and called for a “tea party” to end the bailouts, stimulus payments, and red ink. Grassroots tea-party groups formed — further enraged by the later enactment of an expensive new Obamacare entitlement — and helped Republicans capture the House in 2010 with a stunning 63-seat pickup and also pick up seven Senate seats.

President Trump and congressional leaders are nearing a deal that would raise the discretionary-spending caps by $320 billion over two years and offset less than one-quarter of those costs (and even those offsets would take a decade to materialize). The budget deal would essentially repeal the final two years of the 2011 Budget Control Act and raise the baseline for future discretionary spending by nearly $2 trillion over the decade.

By 2017, a Pew poll showed that just 15 percent of Republicans supported paring back the escalating costs of Medicare or Social Security to bring down the deficit

One of the most successful movements in political history.

Cutting spending is hopeless
Neither side has the guts for it. People who are hoping for some Republican to swoop in and gut spending may as well hope Thor comes down to the floor of the House to kick arse

We're in this spiral until we inflate ourselves out. It's the only realistic solution at this point. Neither side is going to cut spending, so we're just going to have to inflate ourselves out.
Time to buy some Swiss Francs for SHTF day when we make our 35 trillion debt into about $3.50.

Never speak of those domestic terrorists again.

Didn't Obama sic the IRS on the Tea Party?
I mean, that's undisputed, is it not?
Trump should do that to OFA, MoveOn, #JusticeDemocrats, etc.
I mean, fair is fair, right?

The Tea Party turned out to be a total joke on fiscal policy.

I don't care about spending cuts anymore because they will never happen. After Trump is gone, the USA accelerates at warp speed to the Left.

We are in a war wherein the Marxist/Transnational Progressive opposition buys the votes of the masses. And those who will be 'sellers'/providers in Government and cash in as well. There is no way to win against this opponent, in the current societal dynamic of massive immigration, entitlement/victimization psychology and Cognitive Dissonance. This will likely be the last election, for a duration of time.
Trump has given up on controlling spending...until the Judiciary is secured, Civil LE and the Military as well, and the Deep State Bureaucracy is re-ordered. There MUST be a Constitutional basis for any hope of future prosperity. This priority supersedes that of addressing budgetary concerns. High Tech has the ability to alter and mitigate seemingly hopeless monetary/numerical problems, like future unfunded mandates, and the National Debt.
What must be secured, is the societal stability that enables the High Tech progress. And as well, the re-introduction of wise and honest Academic standards, as opposed to the pseudo-Socialist/victimization version that has produced our current disunity, antipathy and the Alinsky strategy move toward open rebellion, from the Left, an or reactionary revolt from the Right.
The people and Principles of the Tea Party Folk, are still there. And they are more educated, and committed than ever. You see em' at the Rallies, and they will become bolder as the Left becomes more desperate.
This aside, it will likely get rough. In the recorded history of Humanity, it always has. And we're still here, moving forward. The 'sky' is the limit.

You do realize that the Tea Party is responsible for giving us Trump, majorities in state legislatures, a majority of governorships, a Senate majority, and a Supreme Court that will likely be majority conservative for most of our lifetimes. If not for Paul Ryan being a pussy RINO, the House might still be red.

Tea Party didn’t go anywhere. It morphed into the MAGA party. Perhaps you’ve heard of it.

Hard to remain when your President is successful at weaponizing every federal organization to take you down, and the uniparty is behind him.

If a democrat wanted to really standout, they could run on a fiscal conservative platform and make Trump answer for his spending problem.
Too bad that can never happen because they’re all batsheet crazy and money is just a concept to them
