Re: Bernanke -
The Tea Party is a little scared here, they are afraid more stimulus will actually spur the economy along ever so slightly and therefor make it more difficult to beat Obama in 2012. The Tea Party is perfectly happy and willing to let the economy tank further. Austerity measures have never worked and they are not going to work now. The Tea Party wants the economy to tank.
