. Im sitting here in texas where it is over 102 and has not rained for 2 months it is Bushes fault. When it cools off and finally rains its Obamas credit. Nothing bad is Obamas fault just ask Obama
It may FEEL like 2 months but it's been just a little over one month . I remember it well because I was in FTW that day.
This is an intriguing blast from the past when the economy was still struggling to find its legs and the tea party folks held power.
A radical faction like that has arisen in some form every time the economy collapses throughout our history and then it disappears soon after.

The economy is still struggling. The Tea Party doesn't have many members in Congress compared to the D and the Rs. Other than that, spot on.

No need smack your face like a child. Have an adult conversation.
Perhaps you're young, but compared to 2011 or 2008, the economy is booming with a low unemployment rate, adding 200,000 jobs or more a month, government jobs declining, private sector jobs growing, a large baby boomer cohort able to retire and leave the workforce.
All you have to do is look at the rate of construction to know the economy's a lot better than it used to be.
And I don't understand your tea party comment. They were never an actual party; they always fell as a radical wing of the Republican Party. Some minor presidential candidates today represent their views but their percentage of support among the right is small.
Here is the secret that Wall Street insiders on a truth serum will tell you:
No one actually knows why stocks go up or down. Self-proclaimed experts ascribe plausible reasons after the fact. I like how they can make a generalized statement about the investing public in general like, "Neil, what you are seeing is the market getting nervous about the stocks being overvalued." Really, a mind reader, are you?
Most money is made by WS firms in charging their clients fees and commissions, not from gains in the firms' own investments. If they were such experts in the stock market, why is that? Shouldn't they be making trillions of dollars by simply investing their own money in the stock market? No, not really.
Why is it that when WSJ used to do a contest between a chimp and hotshot fund managers picking stocks (with the chimp throwing a dart at stock symbols), the chimp almost always won?
Stop worrying about the ups and downs. Let the money sit. The morons that withdrew their money from retirement accounts after the 2008 meltdown lost out on a nearly 200% gain since.
I was just wondering, liberals, if the Tea Party gets credit for today's market games since you (oh so incorrectly) blame them for losses. Thx.
Don't you think that's kind of a childish way of looking at it. Don't you think -- if you really care about causes -- that you ought to look for actual causes either up or down? Seems like very shallow thinking to me.
I just realized how old this thread is. What the heck are we back here for?
Turned out to be evil IRS anyway and them blaming it on the Peaceful Tea Party.
Yeah, those minutemen on the border and people walking around and into stores with massive guns were just cuddle puppies.
