The votes of low-information types are still available to the highest bidder, and nothing the Tea Party movement stands for will be particularly relevant until that free money goes away.
Today, we can continue deficit spending without imposing personal income tax rates appropriate for a nation that practices this sort of financial recklessness.
We can still borrow money to pay Americans to not work.
We can still feed welfare recipients a better grade of food than the crap working stiffs survive on.
With millions of illegal aliens entering the country, we still don't have to pay an American to cut our grass.
Free trade with China means we can still pick up the coolest new phones and never have to worry about working in a factory.
So why make things harder than they need to be by voting for people who want to get rid of the free money?
The answer is that things that can't go on forever don't, but we're not there yet.
It would be better for America and her future to not go down this road, and the Tea Party movement would like everyone to know there is an alternative to our current path to financial self-destruction.
Already, those of us still working are working longer and harder for less money.
This trend will continue.
Those marginally attached to or completely out of the workforce will find fewer and fewer private sector opportunities even as the government's alternatives to working for a living continue to grow.
This also will continue, but in case you haven't noticed, we are beginning to experience shock waves throughout the economy, and these, as always, are said to be a surprise.
Well, it's not a surprise to people who have been telling Americans for years that we cannot allow office holders to borrow money in our children's names to buy votes by paying people to not work and not have periodic financial **** storms and a general decline in living standards over time.
No, there's no surprise from where I stand...
"The fragility of the current U.S. economic recovery came into stark focus this week as the Commerce Department reported that the nation's gross domestic product contracted nearly 3 percent. The report was far worse than analysts had expected and left many Americans asking anxiously if the nation is headed back toward the worst economic times since the Great Depression."

There will be no change before the pain associated with not changing becomes unbearable.
I really don't know when that day will come, but it most certainly is coming.
On that day, we will all be constitutional conservatives whether the Tea Party movement is still around or not.
