On Friday's All In show, MSNBC host Chris Hayes asserted that "Washington is broken because the Tea Party broke it," adding that the Tea Party strategy on changing the budget process was to "impose economic suffocation." Hayes:
Washington is broken because the Tea Party broke it. They broke it on purpose. They broke the normal budgetary process, replaced it with government recurring crisis, all so they can use control of one-half of one branch of government to impose economic suffocation on the country as a whole.
The MSNBC host's comments came as he began the show by fretting over polls finding that Americans who do not want Congress to authorize an increase in the debt ceiling outnumber those who do. Hayes began:
Tonight on All In, we could be just five legislative days away from a government implosion, but a shocking 44 percent of Americans agree with Republicans that we should send the country into an economic abyss.
After delivering plugs for other stories, he returned to the debt ceiling issue:
But we begin tonight with a new poll that shows a plurality of Americans favoring imminent catastrophe. The NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows 44 percent of Americans opposed to raising the debt ceiling, with only 22 percent in favor.
He then added:
Now, at first blush, that is both an upsetting and staggering finding since not raising the debt ceiling would mean a government default and all the cascading miseries that come after that. But, of course, what this poll actually shows is that no one really understands what the debt ceiling really means.

Cheers Jim Robinson! you are right on
adjective:
1. without money; penniless.
2. bankrupt
Let's see. The socialist democrats spent all the money they have collected from the citizens and borrowed even more.
Tea Party Patriots said "Stop Spending Our Money" like this. It is unsustainable. You'll go broke.
Who "broke" Washington again? Liberals are definitely from the Joseph Goebbels "tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it ..." propaganda school.
CHOKE EM!
Poor Mr. Hayes is obviously an Economic illiterate and has the mistaken assumption that this is something to be proud of...
Or... He’s just another partisan Left-wing hack spewing the agitprop to the mindless masses.
Or... Both.
I’m going with both.
“...”
and when done, kill it again!!!
5 is too many.
> I just heard Obama say that the country is in better financeial shape than ever before.
Well of course he would say that but from a personal perspective only. Isn’t his net worth (with PAC) over the half a billion dollar mark now? He’s completely out of touch with the peasants...
Just because you are stupid doesn’t mean that you can not be on TV.
Washington has been broken for decades. Washington has been bankrupt for decades.
The emergence of the Tea Party is because of these conditions.
and less than one tenth of 1 percent know what a Chris Hayes is.
“I think Speaker Boehner could use a few pointers from Speaker Gingrich.”
I think Boehner could use a few pointers from the tip
of a boot right out the door. He’s about as competent in
his present position as Kerry is in his. Is he ever
sober? He looks like a perpetual drunk.
It's MSNBC. Who else are they going to have?
lol.
Imagine if TV hosts talked like this about liberals and Democrats, how quickly it’d be off the air.
Just because you are stupid doesn’t mean that you can not be on TV.
Washington has been broken for decades. Washington has been bankrupt for decades.
The emergence of the Tea Party is because of these conditions.
The needle gets threaded by the message, when the blame for shutdown is laid at the feet of Obama, and not ours.
The message war is on and the Cantor/Boehner crowd must be overtaken and drowned out by Lee, Cruz and Paul, who are capable of selling this thing.
October1 is competing with wall to wall diversions, on the ground and in the headlines.
Lord, help us focus.
Stupid people are allowed on TV so stupid people will watch them.
Tea Party PELOSI, OBAMA A ND ALL THOSE THAT SUPPORT OBAMACARE 'Broke' Washington to 'Impose Economic Suffocation on the Country'
There. Fixed it.
