It isn't my opinion. It is the tea party's opinion. Here is something from a story in the Washington Post about this very subject. When they talked to a spokesperson for Rand Paul (one of the most well known tea party supported candidates) and asked about deficit spending this is the answer they got: "Runaway deficit spending as we now see in Washington, D.C., compels us to take action as the increasing national debt is a grave threat to our national sovereignty." Then he said, "Paul would vote against and filibuster any unbalanced budget proposal in the Senate."
So basically Paul is saying that if the republicans put forth a budget proposal that isn't balanced not only will he not vote for it, he would filibuster against it.
It isn't my opinion. This is what these guys are saying. I'm not saying it is a bad idea, if they actually stick with this it could really be good for the country. If anything it might be my opinion that it would be a thorn in the side of the GOP. Maybe it would cause them to change the way they do things for the better and they would actually like it. I'm sure that is likely to happen because our political leaders are known for being good sports about not getting their way and having to give in to those of opposing view.
