EE. UU.: La ciudadanía se empieza a rebelar contra el dispendio de Washington. Se extienden los “motines de Boston” por las ciudades

Como estará la cosa que se empieza a hablar de “tea parties”, refiriéndose al suceso que desencadenó la rebelión contra Inglaterra (el Motín de Boston):

El martes 16 de diciembre de 1773 tuvo lugar en Boston el denominado Boston Tea Party, en el que se lanzó al mar todo un cargamento de té. Este fue un acto de protesta de los colonos americanos contra Gran Bretaña, considerado como un incentivo para dar inicio a la Guerra de Independencia de los Estados Unidos.

La rebelión de los colonos en el puerto de Boston, Estados Unidos, nace como consecuencia de la aprobación por Gran Bretaña en 1767 de nuevos derechos de aduana que gravaban las importaciones a la metrópoli de distintos productos, incluido el té, para beneficiar a la Compañía Británica de las Indias Orientales a quien los americanos boicoteaban comprando el té de Holanda.

No es para menos. En una mes ha triplicado ya “el déficit que dejó Bush”, que era ya un record:  Obama Has Nearly Tripled Deficit “Bush Left Him” Already

Más, algunos estados empiezan a hablar de secesión (NATIONWIDE OPPOSITION TO OBAMA BEING BORN):

Several States are now passing State legislature bills to nullify the federal government’s “illegal” mandates and usurping of State powers where even certain federal crimes cannot be imposed on the States.

Others are writing bills to avoid having to accept Federal monies on the one hand and on the other, knowing they only receive some 70 cents for every dollar they send to the Feds, to stop paying Federal monies.

Then, like in Texas, independent action to deal with a federal situation, for the challenges from Mexico. Getting no response to several requests to the Obama Administration for help with Mexican drug gangs creating riots around El Paso and other border regions, Texas has just put its National Guard on Red Alert for the first time ever.

Texas’ State Constitution also already has a clause permitting secession. Other States may have such clauses but will quickly pass legislation to allow them to secede and quickly form regional alliances with neighbouring states.
