Government Spending & the Tea Parties

For those concerned about about the amount of debt being racked up by the federal government, there are always websites like http://usdebtclock.org/ to watch the action in real time.

 

For those who prefer to take direct action to try to slow down excessive government spending, there are always tea parties, such as the one in Washington D.C. this past weekend where hundreds of thousands of people, or according to the British press close to 2 million (though the real number was probably somewhere between 800K-1.5M), gathered to voice their displeasure.
