The Great Recession Ate 40% Of Americans' Net Worth. The Tea Party Intends Worse

No Tea Party Complete Without The Mad Hatter

***

The Great Recession vaporized 40% of an average American's net worth.
Currently, The Tea Party is determined to collapse America's economy if a properly enacted law --already pronounced constitutional by the conservative Supreme Court -- is not de-funded.

If Congress wishes to de-fund The Affordable Care Act, there are constitutional procedures for doing so.

However, holding a gun to the head of the national economy is not only un-American but a course of action -- which if conceived by Osama bin Laden -- would have resulted in unrelenting clamor, from sea to shining sea, to nuke every country in which he might be hiding.

Perhaps the activity of House Republicans is not technically traitorous.

By every reasonable measure, it is worse.

Not only are House Republicans eager to realize Global Terrorism's wet dream urge to crash America's economy, they are determined to wreak unprecedented havoc on the United States of America, and by extension, the world.

"There has never been in a single Congress -- or, more precisely, in a single House of the Congress -- a more lethal combination of political ambition, political stupidity, and political vainglory than exists in this one, which has arranged to shut down the federal government because it disapproves of a law passed by a previous Congress, signed by the president, and upheld by the Supreme Court, a law that does nothing more than extend the possibility of health insurance to the millions of Americans who do not presently have it, a law based on a proposal from a conservative think-tank and taken out on the test track in Massachusetts by a Republican governor who also happens to have been the party's 2012 nominee for president of the United States. That is why the government of the United States is, in large measure, closed this morning."
