'We don't have it. It seems like there's no end'
 A scene from the Tennessee Tea Party |
Frustrated citizens in more than 30 cities across the country gathered in a national "tea party" protest today to denounce the trillions of dollars in taxpayer money the federal government is doling out in the name of financial bailouts and economic "stimulus."
Carrying signs with feisty slogans like "Honk if you want to pay my mortgage" and "Obamanomics: Chains we can believe in," Americans from San Diego to Boston, and many place in between, gathered in parks and on capitol building steps to voice their displeasure.
Stefanie Huffaker brought her 9-year-old daughter to the capitol in Lansing, Mich., to join the Michigan Tea Party.
"I want the president and the Congress to know that they're spending too much money," Huffaker told the Detroit Free Press. "We don't have it. It seems like there's no end."
