Tea Party to Obama: Don’t Hold Our

Economy Hostage

‘Deadbeats’ and Junkies Can’t Stop Spending Other People’s Money

(Stuart, FL) – Today, Tea Party Patriots, the nation’s largest tea party organization, responded to President Obama’s press conference on the debt ceiling.

“Our President rails against not paying our debts as a country, but refuses again and again to take any meaningful steps to reduce our debts—such as cutting spending,” said Cynthia Lucas of the Martin 9/12 TeaParty Committee. “It is the President who is holding our economy hostage to his vision of spending more now regardless of the consequences. It is the President whose deadbeat policies handicap our economy and stunt growth. It is the President and his party who pass deadline after deadline without passing a budget so that the American people can review and analyze it.

“Every dollar increase in the debt ceiling is another dollar stolen from our children and from young people who aren’t even old enough to vote. We must stop splurging on ourselves and sending our children the bill. Deadbeats and addicts ensure they get their own ‘fix’ and leave their children to waste away. A government addicted to spending cannot long last without overdosing and going bankrupt. We need to stage an intervention to change our government’s spending habits, and we need it now.”

Tea Party Patriots is a national grassroots coalition with more than 3,400 locally organized chapters and more than 15 million supporters nationwide. Tea Party Patriots is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting the principles of fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government, and free markets.
