Members of the Know-Nothing Party, when asked about their politics, were supposed to reply, “I know nothing” – which was largely true.

How much longer can we continue borrowing to support the Welfare State?

Tea Party Answer: We can't much longer. We have to cut spending.

Establishment Answer: I know nothing.

How are we going to balance the budget?

Tea Party Answer: We need to cut spending to a reasonable level, like the level we had 10 years ago. We need to cut back on entitlements.

Establishment Answer: I know nothing.
