I didn't call them (Tea Partyers) all Crazy. The ones who make the news are crazy probably but i wouldn't say all of them are crazy.

Sorry man you've got it wrong. Printing money doesn't push up the stock market. The Fed can influence the money supply by changing the reserve requirements (Amount of funds held by banks against deposits). When they do this, banks can lend more money to increase the overall supply of money in the economy. They can also change interest rates. Lowering the interest rates stimulates the economy of course.

But see, thats the thing. You guys are so much better off now. When Clinton left, he left you with a surplus of cash. When Bush came in, he dropped taxes AND started 2 wars at the same time. In the past, a present raised taxes to support the cost of a war. Bush's 1-2 punch is what put you guys into serious debt.
As an outsider who sees the big picture, Obama is one of the best presidents you guys have ever had. Not perfect, and he seems kind useless at times when trying to get bills past, but he's doing alot to get you guys back on track.
