Do you believe that the Tea Party has offered an alternative financi n to greatly reduce America's reliance on foreign oil and promote renewable energy resources?
The notion that you can make the economy safe and end all risk is absurd.....unless it is state run. Of course, with risk comes growth. Without risk equals no growth. So if you offer a plan to withdraw all risk economically perhaps you would like to live in Cuba.
As for the economy recovering, increasing government red tape and taxes and entitlements is probably not a good way to stimulate the economy.
As for punishing those responsible for the credit crisis, I am all for it. In fact, without it you are only going to encourage such behavoir in the future. So who has been held accountable I wonder? (crickets chirping)
As far as balancing the budget and bringing down debt, we must look at the biggest expenditures and curb them. This includes social security, medicare, defense. There is no way around this fact.
As far as the wars abroad, I not sure what the Tea Parrty has said about it specifically but I get the vibe that it is not that popular. Again, its all part of fiscal sanity to bring the troops home and end the spending.
