That said, the Tea Party movement has yet to convince me that they are concerned about much beyond fiscal policy, and a particular period of fiscal policy decisions at that. They're against Keynesian recessionary economics--I get that. What I don't get is how they expect to do anything beyond, perhaps, influence decisions on emergency stimulus spending.

An attempt by someone who might want to run for president with the Republican Party to win the hearts of people voicing that they want little more than tax & spending cuts is a good idea.
