Lake County Tea Party Calls Increase Irresponsible and Hypocritical

(Round Lake, IL – August 3, 2011) Lake County Tea Party today called the deal to raise the U.S. debt ceiling and any increase in deficit spending “a failure in leadership.” The Lake County Tea Party maintains that the administration will not be able to successfully stabilize the economy through greater debt.
Tea Party Chairman Lennie Jarratt recalled a statement by then-Senator Barack Obama in March, 2006, during a previous debate on raising the debt ceiling. “Senator Obama stated that “the fact that we are here today to debate raising American’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies.’” Jarratt pointed to the irony that the country’s debt has multiplied under the Obama Administration. He noted that the Tea Party is committed to educating voters on the virtues of fiscally responsible government at all levels and that “robbing Peter to pay Paul” is irresponsible.
Lake County Tea Party is a grassroots organization that was formed to communicate to government that people are “tapped out, tired of it, and not going to sit idly by while they do business as usual,” said Jarratt. Besides advocating for taxpayers and constitutional right, the Lake County Tea Party has been working to fight corruption in all areas of government. Lake County Tea Party invites all area residents to join them, and welcomes any contact regarding the organization’s activities and positions on issues.
