By that one post, you've shown you are flat out ignorant about what the TEA party movement is all about.
It is about being angry about false scandals and misconceptions. It is about throwing arms up in continuous rage. It is about not offering any solutions to anything.

Yup. But reforming health care to ensure everyone contributes is bad?
Our chief economist is pretty conservative in his estimates and even he thinks the Q1 was more of an anomaly than a trend, though his expectations are only 2--3% for Q2.
Oh. Well, thank God for your pretty conservative chief economist.
Hopefully it fails and liberals are left to starve. Instead they will cry to the grand puba and hope he steals others money to pay for their failed ideology.
That money is just sitting there waiting for the economy to actually start growing.
The Federal Government collected $325 billion more in revenue than it did in 2012. Since the government doesn't have a freaking clue what to do with it besides line its own pockets, buy votes and perpetuate itself and its growth that money is lost and you don't even get a nice little t-shirt.
The estimates for 2014 are $225 billion more than 2013.
And you still have problems on the immediate horizon.

But if current laws do not change, the period of shrinking deficits will soon come to an end. Between 2015 and 2024, annual budget shortfalls are projected to rise substantially—from a low of $469 billion in 2015 to about $1 trillion from 2022 through 2024—mainly because of the aging population, rising health care costs, an expansion of federal subsidies for health insurance, and growing interest payments on federal debt. CBO expects that cumulative deficits during that decade will equal $7.6 trillion if current laws remain unchanged.
Together the cost for those programs will increase 24% over the next 21 years.
Of course the US still need trillions upon trillions upon trillions to upgrade its electrical grid along with other much needed infrastructure. Guess what a horrible GDP growth does to all of those things?
That money is going to come out of the economy one way or another. If you don't pay for those things you lose. If you do pay for those things you lose.

If we had actually reformed it so that everyone paid then you might have an argument.
Could have been worse. The recalculation of the GDP last July gave us an automatic 3% boost.
Without that change we'd be looking at -5.9% GDP.
See..we're "less worse" because the value of that painting in the WH, all that pension money that isn't there yet, all those future movie royalties now contributes to the GDP.
Yup! We missed throwing in the kitchen sink and Obummer decoder ring. We are so screwed.
