This article compares our current political environment with the McCarthy era during the Cold War. The Tea Party Taliban may have sown the seeds of its own demise just as McCarthy did in the Cold War.

We should not ignore the economic likely economic outcome of Tea Party Taliban victory. We will have imposed austerity on a fragile US economy. We will not be able to grow our way out of deficit and it may be made worse by a double dip recession. This will happen at a time when Europe is in crisis as well. Slower global growth will take its toll. Everyone will have to pay a price for the failure of democracy to work in the US and the potential collapse of the Euro.
