America’s debt ceiling face-off: The audacity of hopelessness - FT.com

"The emergence of the populist Tea Party movement as an intransigent force is often singled out as driving the malfunction, with last year’s midterm congressional elections shifting the Republicans so far to the right that any agreement with the Democrats becomes virtually impossible. "


Very interesting. Now, apparently, Populist=fiscally conservative. I have always held the belief that Populist meant a politician pandering to labor unions and people that were looking for redistribution of wealth via taxation.
