If the TEA Party had any knowledge of history, they’d know that we weren’t what they think we are today if we hadn’t spent so much before/during WWII that our debt was 20% higher in terms of GDP than it is today. America was something of a global isolationist backwater pre-WWII, and then we spent GOBS of money modernizing our virtually all our industries, a power infrastructure, irrigation projects, rebuilding virtually all the participants of WWII (on both sides, no less), and finally, an interstate highway system that we stole from Germany after seeing how awesome it was when we invaded.
No country ever became great by doing nothing. Thanks TP for leading us down the road to suckage because y’all are too ignorant to know that.
