The following makes me want to throw up...I know that is a harsh statement, but here's the deal. How can someone that makes laws in our country be allowed to flat out LIE like that? I'm not being sarcastic...I'm being serious. Pelosi's final remarks when handing over the gavel as Speaker of the House was a lie...if you don't want to call it a lie, then call her delusional. It truly has to be one of the two AND the facts back it up.
Nancy Pelosi stated, "We have no regrets. This House has sent, over and over again, sent to the Senate legislation for job creation which the Republicans in the Senate held up. "Deficit reduction has been a high priority for us. It is our mantra, pay-as-you-go. Unfortunately, that will be changed now. ah, This administration and this Congress, inherited a near depression and so the initiatives that we took were positive for the American people."
SEE THE NUMBERS FOR YOURSELF:
When the Pelosi Democrats took control of Congress on January 4, 2007, the national debt stood at $8,670,596,242,973.04. The last day of the 111th Congress and Pelosi’s Speakership on December 22, 2010 the national debt was $13,858,529,371,601.09 – a roughly $5.2 trillion increase in just four years. Furthermore, the year over year federal deficit has roughly quadrupled during Pelosi’s four years as speaker, from $342 billion in fiscal year 2007 to an estimated $1.6 trillion at the end of fiscal year 2010.
Here's my closing remarks...first let's take the "No regrets" comment-no regrets means she is proud of her leadership and proud of all of the crazy legislation that she helped push through. I wonder if all of the Democrats that took the beat down on election day have No regrets. She doesn't care that she has helped the moral, social, economic, and financial decline of our Country. What a great leader!
"Deficit reduction has been a high priority"...bull crap. Check the numbers...they have gone up 5.2 trillion dollars since she took her position as Speaker. To have the largest increase in debt ever under her watch and make a statement like that...ridiculous.
"our mantra...pay as you go"...bull crap. Pay as you go mean no additional debt. What planet is she living on? Pay as you go is like paying cash, and not racking up debt. This is completely the opposite of what Congress has done under her watch. Your debt doesn't increase 5.2 trillion dollars if you pay as you go.
Please let this be a lesson for the future...and this applies to Democrats and Republicans. Hold them accountable. Politicians in general make generalized statements, hoping us ordinary citizens won't follow up on them and that we will just take them at their word. Let this be a huge lesson learned...ADIOS NANCY...AMERICA WILL NOT MISS YOU AND WILL BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT YOU, atleast in the position of Speaker!
