Basically, the Tea Party is just a way for the most fascist pinko-paranoid section of the Right wing to stir up trouble for attention, and if they had their way, we'd be pulled into the stone age. Our economy would crumble, and China would basically just step in with their infinitely more powerful government, economy, and equally powerful military might.
