Tea-ed off
Since 2001, the U.S. has been engaged in an unwinnable war in
Afghanistan and an unnecessary war in Iraq, whose combined cost exceeds
a trillion dollars. The trade deals it brokered with China gave it $5
trillion in trade deficits, wiped out 6 million manufacturing jobs and
50,000 factories in a single decade, resulting in a debt to the
communist giant approaching a trillion dollars. Talk about willingly
impaling yourself on your enemy’s bayonet. The Tea Party folk should
demand to know why a great nation’s blood and treasure has been
squandered in such a near-suicidal fashion.

America’s death has been exaggerated)
