Fiscal Responsibility, Responsibly

The Tea Party Express is a group of vigilant citizens unsatisfied with the current policies of the federal government. They are upset about the out of control spending and lack of fiscal responsibility the government is exhibiting.

Both the Republican and Democratic parties are leading the U.S. to financial ruin. The national deficit is $13.7 trillion. If we divide this number by the U.S. population each individual in the U.S. is responsible for over $44,000 of debt.

The Republicans are responsible for trillions of dollars of debt through the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, along with the first $700 billion financial bank bailout. Democrats have issued over $900 billion in stimulus programs and auto bailouts, and added $410 billion in spending.

Our public officials and those appointed by our elected officials have failed. The government, like the people it represents must live within its means.

The Tea Party Express Chairwomen, Amy Kremer, reminds us that they are a group of citizens unsatisfied with the policies of the government.

“This is not about being a Democrat or Republican, we are vocalizing our displeasure with both parties,” Kremer said.

The out of control spending by the government at all levels must be stopped. A strong deficit reduction plan needs to be developed, approved and implemented slowly to insure the economy remains stable.

In a government of the people for the people and by the people we need to know that the U.S. is on the right track making sound fiscal decisions to save our future.
