Utter nonsense. We all ready won a major victory here. The last few weeks shows hat without the Tea Party the debt limit increase would have been passed without any attempt to rein in spending
The Tea Party has all ready won simply because the terms of the debate are now changed forever. It is no longer a question of cutting spending, it is now how to do it and how much to do it.
True we did not win a complete annihilating victory but this will be a long war. This is the Tea Party equivalent of Lexington/Concord.
The war on Federal Spending has now started. We are not going to undo 100 years of Progressive politics with a single vote.
There was no reigning in spending here.
Plus we’ll likely get tax hikes from the Debt Commission “seupercongress”
There will be no spending cuts. There will be tax hikes.
That is not a victory.
