I think somebody pulled the skin a little too tight last time. May have cut off blood flow.
What an IDIOTIC comment.

Americans could be ready to "absorb" increases to the deficit if it means higher employment, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Tuesday.
As the Congress prepares to put together a new spending package focused on creating new jobs in the U.S., the Speaker said that while it's a "false choice" to pose the situation facing lawmakers as a balance between jobs and increased deficits, Americans would rather have jobs.
"So if somebody has the idea that the percentage of GDP of what our national debt is will go up a bit, but they will now — and their neighbors and their children will — have jobs, I think they could absorb that," Pelosi said in a conference call with liberal bloggers on Tuesday, audio of which was posted by ThinkProgress.

What an IDIOTIC comment.
What a mentality!!!!
Anyone with a modicum of economic principles should understand how absolutely idiotic Pelosi’s comments are.
1) An Idiot in charge of the House
2) An Idiot in charge of the Senate
3) An Idiot Latina affirmative-actioned to the Supreme Court
4) An Idiot as Secretary of State
5) An Idiot as Vice President
and....
6) The First Idiot, bending over to everybody.
I cannot see all of these people still in office by this time next year.
Absorb this Nancy!!
Let’s not forget that in the last congress the democrats were discussing nationalizing private retirement accounts and making everyone get SS, that is one huge block of cash-o-mulla.
I think Pelosi has ‘absorbed’ too much Botox.
Americans could be ready to “absorb” increases to the deficit if it means higher employment, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Tuesday......
OMG!....That’s it!...This stupid radical b@#$%!...I can’t take this crap anymore!
Absorb the Nancy!......Go away!...Just go away!
So they want to pass another 700 billion dollar STIMULUS so they can pay off the soon to be somewhat bankrupt ACORN, all of Obama’s campaign donaters and some field mouse in Ca.?
I really think they are on crack.
“I am beginning to think that there is something in DC that causes loss of higher brain function.”....
Yes...It’s called radicalitis.
That statement is just the newest version of “Let them eat cake.”
Insane.
To do that you have to CREATE WEALTH service job and medical jobs do not create wealth they just transfer it. You need drill oil dig for coal and manufacture things. No Democratic stimulus is going to do any of that! All else fails conquer a county and take what they have!
Kinda like the Titanic could absorb a little more water, if we just open another watertight compartment.
Say, do I hear “Nearer My God to Thee” playing in the background?
Fire the illegal aliens and there would be instant jobs for citizens. Imagine that.
Her own state of California-—the citizens absorbing 10% less of their paychecks while the state goes further into debt and job growth declines with higher unemployment. Liberals are economic retards.
I had forgotten about that...there’s been so much BS. Whatever happened to that potential theft? It’s the only money left that they haven’t stolen with their dirty paws.
This is a math problem. On tests in school you are asked to “show your work”.
Ask her to release an official government report that balances that equation she is proposing.
all she did was bitch about the cost of Iraq/Afgh. when unemployment was 4.5%. hi ho. the ho must go
Hey Nancy...create one private sector job outside of DC before you announce more spending “to create jobs”
Man, maybe even the nuts in SF will throw this pig to the curb in another year. Wishful thinking but I’m hoping.
She will give her smarty ass reply: Are you serious?
Should be on all flyers in a political contest against her—anything you ask her gets that reply.
Dear Nancy,
I consider the debt and foreign oil purchases, a national security issue, of the highest order. Ie., continuing down this path is incompetence or treasonous.
I know that there are even FR folks that can’t understand why transfering huge swaths of our wealth to the rest of the world, esp. our enemies, is a problem.
What can I say for these folks?
I want her to explain how taking money from me and transferring it to someone else helps the economy. Either I save or spend it or the receiver saves or spends it. Nothing new has been produced or created. It is a zero sum scam.
*****
Let’s see:
1) An Idiot in charge of the House
2) An Idiot in charge of the Senate
3) An Idiot Latina affirmative-actioned to the Supreme Court
4) An Idiot as Secretary of State
5) An Idiot as Vice President
and....
6) The First Idiot, bending over to everybody.
I cannot see all of these people still in office by this time next year.
*****
#3, #5, and #6 will all be in office at this time next year, barring any untimely occurrences. Let’s hope the electorate banish #1 and #2 from their leadership posts.

A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose your job. A recovery is when Nancy Pelosi loses her job.
Agreed, but add Obama to that as well.
The saddest think about Pelosi’s remarks is thatshe’s serious. You would think Summers, as liberal as he is, would have some influence within the council of economic morons. These folks would screw up a car funeral. They’d lose money selling lemonade in the Sahara.
Beyond stupid. Beyond ignorant. Beyond insane. Pelosi and the others who think like her are simply evil and hell-bent on destroying America.
Ping
I long for legislators who actually understand the fundamentals of wealth creation. Pelosi believes a job exists solely because someone needs that job.
This BS well exemplifies the total and complete disconnect between these elitist gasbags and real Americans. Pelousy, Reid the Feckless and their ilk are the best ad I’ve ever seen in favor of term limits for elected officials, AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT.
It’s well past time to take back the country.
It is truly mind boggling had detached from reality a vast majority of our masters in DC are
This woman is absoluely and completely clueless about economics.
There is not even any reason to try to teach someone who is as completely moronic as her continuing statements prove her to be.
“Kinda like the Titanic could absorb a little more water, if we just open another watertight compartment.”
That’s the analogy!
Dear Nancy: You are one of the more ignorant individuals that I ever heard speak. For the good of your family, save them the embarrassment that you are by resigning and becoming a bag lady. Have a great Thanksgiving.
The dems promised pay-go budgeting. They are liars.
If morons like this one aren’t gone in 1 year then...
I don’t know. The other half of the country doesn’t deserve this.
Hopefully this lady will lose her position as speaker in 2010.
What she’s saying, in essence, is that no matter how much or how little you make, we (the rat congress and administration) intend to use debt and taxation to make sure you never get ahead.
You forgot idiot AG.
The whole nutcase boat has to go..Obama, Pelosi, Biden, Clinton..etc. Its like the further down the chain you go, the further into Hell you descend.
Biden, one HELL of an insurance policy for Obama.
Translation: “If I give you five dollars today, you might not notice when I take seven dollars from you tomorrow.”
LMAO!!! Spot on, kind sir! Sad, isn’t it?
Nancy, Where are the jobs from the last spending spree?
