BOSTON, MA – Rick Santelli plans to throw the world’s most expensive Tea Party to protest of the Stimulus Plan, serving hundred dollar bills steeped in hot water!
Santelli is an arch-conservative CNBC reporter, who has received a lot of media coverage over the last week for an on-air rant decrying government spending and waste embodied, he says, by the passing of the recent stimulus bill.
His new organization, The New American Tea Party, acting like an umbrella organization encompassing several fiscally conservative political watch and advocacy groups, aims at undermining the stimulus by preventing the funds from reaching their assigned targets.
“There is so much pork in this bill it would give the healthiest man a heart attack!” Santelli bellowed on CNBC. “Millions here for the arts. Millions there for roads. What’s a couple hundred million for unemployment benefits?! Sure, why not? Lets encourage people not to get jobs. Let’s just give them more taxpayer money to not work and not pay taxes which would go to someone else who is not working!”
“It’s lunacy!”
Santelli’s organization is working closely with conservative lawmakers, specifically governors and state legislators who will most directly receive stimulus funds.
“We’ve already had somewhere in the ballpark of 50 million dollars of stimulus money pledged by local lawmakers for use in the tea party,” Santelli says in a blog posting on the groups website.
“Rather than that money going to these ridiculous and wasteful pet projects, we are going to proverbally put it our pipes and smoke it! But rather than smoking it, we’ll be drinking it. In our tea. Literally.”
Inspired by the Boston Tea Party, which famously threw crates of tea into the Boston Harbor rather than have it sold for inflated prices and with outlandish taxes, the New American Tea Party will in fact steep hundreds of hundred dollar bills in near-boiling water.
“I’m going to drink it down and urinate it out! I plan to show that the stimulus money will be as effective at stimulating the economy as my urine will be to stimulate my lawn. Which is un-stimulating! It will kill my lawn! And the stimulus will kill the economy!”

LOL these people are morons. If you do any research at all taxes are down from the Bush years. You want to blame someone on spending. Why not Bush and his pointless war in Iraq that cost trillions? Oh that's right these people are racists and bigots they don't care about facts they care about Obama being black. Bush was an idiot who ruled with "duuuuh" expression for eight years. Now we have a real leader in office trying to fix the countless mistakes yet the angry masses blame him and have forgotten the Bush years or have written them off. So whites got scared and made the tea party. It's the Taliban in reverse. Rich conservatives tricking an angry white middle class and making them believe that a government based on the Bible is the way to go. Well unlike the countless waves of idiots I for one will not fall for the American Taliban's tactics. How if you are for states rights and less government over sight are you against gay marriage based off of individual states decisions. Or how are you against legalizing drugs state by state? Oh because they are hypocrites who claim they want American freedoms but really want strong conservative rule over the country. Down with the tea party! And their evil anti-American plans to destroy the values of our founding fathers and in fact destroy our freedoms!

I think this is among the most vital info for me. And i’m glad reading your article. But want to remark on some general things, The website style is perfect, the articles is really great : D. Good job, cheers
here are several listings to websites that i connect to since all of us think they will be worth going to.
This is the sad truth Patti, just do some checking, members of senate and congress tried during Bushes adm. to regulate loans, to not loan to people that couldnt afford to pay back. The Queen of realestate, Barney Frank, assured us there was no problem with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Clinton adm. was the one to loosen loan regs so minorities could achive the American Dream without paying their dues. The really sad thing is you never heard this from main street media, your just not getting all the facts from the media these days. They have a very specific agenda.
no, it was done by Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Clinton – and some even by Bush!
cz111, thanks for the personal email. I to am a realtor for Murney Assoc. Your title carrys little weight with me. Havent made much money at it though. I cant sell a house to someone who cant afford it .
This is true he just jot stuck with everyones dirty work. GIVE THE MAN A CHANCE.
If I wanted to live in a Socialist country – I'd move!
I'm tired of working hard so that others can do nothing.
Our constitution gives us the right to pursue happiness – and wealth. It was never intended to provide a welfare state.
I'm NOT rich. I'm hard working. But it's many of the "uber-rich" that provide jobs to those of us willing to work for what we get.
Peggy,
See my first four sentences for clarification…with emphasis on ’01 through ’07.
Crowbaby, first the media is not giving you the facts because then don't want you to know the truth. The facts are, the people who sit on the boards of the investment banks are also on the boards of the media giants. The Community Reinvestment Act did not do this. In fact the FED says these are some of the most stable loans.Also the CRA only effects depository institutions. That would be banks and S & L's, more than 80% of all sub-prime loans were done by mortgage companies. They are not regulated by the Fed. ACORN did not do this, they have always pushed for tough regs. Also a number of states tried to restrict these loans. The bankers went after those lawmakers with a vengeance. And Barney Frank did not do it. When the news claimed he and the Dems stopped efforts to regulate, the GOP controlled the government. All the Dems together could not stop them.
Sorry I keep raining on your parade but your whole argument is based on a lie. I know real estate, its what I do.
Right on Crowbaby, you get the true picture regarding what happened to cause our collapse. This went on over five years, until the bubble came about. Please watch the video I am trying to send you. Thanks. Try and watch all videos regarding Barney Franks,
Freddie and Fannie Mae, etc.

ACK,
You said: “What are you talking about cz111. Of course the rich employ the rest of us. Have you ever been hired by a poor person? NO!”
I didn’t say “the rich (don’t) employ the rest of us”. See below.
You said: “rich who provide us working class with jobs”
[so, why are they hoarding all of their Trillions in T-Bills and offshore accounts while trying to eliminate millions of more jobs (US auto industry) and push the economy into a depression???]
And, yes, the poor (i.e. GM, Ford, the US government, etc…) hire people all of the time, too. Everyone says they haven’t been ‘rich’ for, at least, the past 8 years.
And, how about the ol’ entrepreneurial American Dream of starting a business ‘on a shoe string’ (i.e. not rich) ‘in your garage’ and hiring people on a promise of financial remuneration???

Crowbabyj
Actually, ‘IntenseDebate’ notified you… and me.
And, I’m not a realtor nor do I have a fancy ‘title’ that carries any weight… just plain old Dumb-ocrat, liberal, socialist, commie, etc…
PS… I’m really not a socialist, commie, etc…, that’s just what people call me when I say things like:
Santelli and his bond trading buddies are all multi-millionaire con artist clowns who’re trying to put all of the working class ($30k to $45k/yr.) “loosers” (his words) into an ‘Obama Depression’.
They don’t care about you unless they can use you, i.e. Santelli’s Millionaire, Billionaire Tea Party needs a crowd of “loosers” (his words) to make it look like the masses (poor working class) want tax cuts for the millionaires and billionaires bad enough to walk across the country to protest.
This kind of stuff would be just too hilarious if it wasn’t so, so sad. Please don’t allow your political ideology to permit you to fall for those cheap Santelli-like scams. Good luck and God Bless.
