The Tea Party demands that the Democratic and Republican Party establishments live within the means of the American people by balancing the budget every year.
If either political party had done this when they were in power, Standard & Poor’s would not have downgraded the Treasury Securities of the United States.
The Democratic Party controlled both the Senate and House of Representatives from January 2007 through January 2011 and ran up massive budgetary deficits and together with a $787 billion stimulus package increased the National Debt by nearly $7,000 billion.
The S&P downgrade was a direct result of this massive spending and huge increases in the National Debt that have now exceeded 100% of Gross Domestic Product.
Now the President, his propagandists and fellow Democrats blame the tea party for the downgrade–the big lie repeated over and over again.
The truth is the Tea Party pointed out that both political parties were not fiscally responsible and future budgets needed to be balanced or in surplus.
This requires massive cuts in the budget baseline itself and not just reductions in the rate of growth of the budget baseline.

The political elites are aware that the American people know they are being lied to and many of the current Senators and Representatives will be replaced by candidates who truly believe in fiscal responsibility and a constitutional republic.
While it may take several elections to accomplish this, President Obama will be fired by the American people for his failure of leadership in deliverying a peace and prosperity economy.
