The Tea Party says the "Tea" stands for "Taxed Enough Already", maybe it's time for an Idea Party
In Debt Enough Already.

We've got a start with the 99'ers and the Occupy Wall Street, it's time to press forward, there needs to be a force to remind politicians and the media:
About foreclosure fraud
About student loans and with the shrinking the job market, the inability to pay back said loans
About the long term unemployed and the discrimination that they face, keeping them in perpetual unemployment
About the vicious cycle of using credit scores as a hiring filter, keeping people with an inability to pay bills unable to pay bills
That tax cuts do not necessarily mean job growth
That repealing the minimum wage, anti-discrimination laws, and other regulations will not solve anything
That cutting the safety net will not mean people will all of the sudden find work
And more

Aren't our nation's youth in debt enough already?
Aren't people with medical bills in debt enough already?
Aren't college students in debt enough already?
Aren't the long term unemployed in debt enough already?

Maybe it's time for an Idea Party to stand up.

Always talking about the Tea standing for "Taxed enough already" and spinning their yarn how they're not about enacting backwards social policies, and I wondered, what about medical debts, you are either forced to be in debt or you could possibly die, or the vicious cycles of unemployment and unemployment discrimination and using credit scores as a hiring filter. That's not my idea of what the American Dream should be about, just staying out of debt, and I think something should be done about it. I also saw the other post with an eighth grader was worrying about the debt his family faced, we've gone a long way from the four freedoms that FDR wanted this country to espouse, haven't we?
