be reckoned with. one of us can be dismissed. two of us is norred. together we are a movement and we are unstoppable. welcome to the revolution. ferocious recession is now tightening its grip on the nation. because i think of some bad decisions that were made, we have the worst economy since the great depression. well, the start of the 2010s, there was just a lot of economic displacement, and people were feeling it from all sides. it s a war out there. these people are losing homes every single day. the debate over using billions in taxpayer dollars to help homeowners in trouble spilled out on to live television today. and february of 2009, a commentator there gets really, really angry about the financial crisis. rick santelli whipped up a frenzy when he spoke about government money bailing out homeowners who are in over their head. the government is promoting bad behavior. and he thinks that it s time to fight back, and he calls this a new tea party.
