My short LTTE re Tea Partiers.

[CTyankee]

To the editor:

While it is truly touching to see the Tea Partiers’ outpouring of concern over the future of our children, where were all these “patriots” when George W. Bush was running up the deficit as fast as he could?

Had Mr. Bush preserved the surplus left him by President Clinton, had he not put two wars and a massive Medicare entitlement on the country’s “credit card” and had he enforced regulation of the financial markets, we would not face the deficits we are now seeing. The Tea Partiers, whose age demographic shows they are primarily over the age of 45, were old enough to see what Bush was doing. Yet they said nothing, carried no signs and exhibited no anguish about the future of the children. And NOW they are upset?
