We can add a new descriptor to TEA Party Patriots.
Dead Beat Dads.
From the Chicago Sun-Times (link HERE):
Oh, it gets better...
This places the TEA Party Patriot view of the debt ceiling in a whole new light.
If these Members of Congress feel no need to pay down personal obligations, it is no surprise at all that they feel no need to pay down public obligations.
The TEA Party's understanding of fiscal responsibility is every bit as deep as their understanding of the Constitution.
Dead Beat Dads.
From the Chicago Sun-Times (link HERE):
Freshman U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh, a tax-bashing Tea Party champion who sharply lectures President Barack Obama and other Democrats on fiscal responsibility, owes more than $100,000 in child support to his ex-wife and three children, according to documents his ex-wife filed in their divorce case in December.
Oh, it gets better...
“Joe personally loaned his campaign $35,000, which, given that he failed to make any child support payments to Laura because he ‘had no money’ is surprising,” Laura Walsh’s attorneys wrote in a motion filed in December seeking $117,437 in back child support and interest. “Joe has paid himself back at least $14,200 for the loans he gave himself.”
