Well, they are hypocrites, considering they supposedly support less government intervention, but are against gay marriage and such.
But, the idea of controlling spending and trying to be fiscally responsible seems to be lost on the American government in general, and I have no idea what will make them understand it again.
Because of the repeated years of mismanagement of funds and the inability to try and properly run a variety of social programs, you're at the point where you simply have to cut spending and try to start managing your budget better.
I think the US in general have ignored this for a long time, not to mention the inability to properly regulate the financial industry, and this has lead to some massive problems. Massive massive problems.
Result? The Tea Party.
I actually find it quite amusing. I think the US 100% deserves all the loonies that are coming out of the woodwork and are being listened to.
And they'll continue deserving it just as long as the big, rich and powerful have control of Washington.
