Time for Another Tea Party
Friday, February 20th, 2009CNBC’s Rick Santelli said that Obama’s bailout plan is promoting “bad behavior” and correctly pointed out the American people do not support foreclosure bailouts. He even called for a “Chicago Tea Party,” since our elected officials clearly aren’t representing us.
CNBC did a poll and 90% of the 63,000 Americans surveyed said they agree: they don’t like Obama’s plan.
Politicians are not representing their constituents anymore; they are representing the lobbyists and special interest groups that keep them in power.
Even the high school students Obama visited this week realize his plan is a bad idea:
“The spending bill he just passed is just progressing the Democratic agenda rather than addressing the economic issues in the country.” said senior Maaike Albach.
“This puts us more into debt,” said Daudfar, 18. “It’s a horrible situation we’re in.”
“I think it’s cool he’s here,” said Miller, 18. “I just don’t believe all the things he’s telling us.”
