Pelosi on last day as Speaker: 'No Regrets' on Deficit and Debt Tuesday, January 04, 2011 By Nicholas Ballasy

(CNSNews.com) - When asked if she regrets not using the last two years with a Democrat controlled Congress to do more about the national debt, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she has “no regrets,” adding that “deficit reduction” has been a “high priority” for the Democratic Congress.

Speaker Pelosi was asked, “Do you have regrets that you didn't use the 2 years that you had total Democratic control of government to focus more on jobs and especially the debt which we did not hear much at all from you?”

Pelosi, speaking on her last day as Speaker of the House, said, “No, we have no regrets. This House has 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.”

She added, “This administration and this Congress inherited a near Depression. So, the initiatives that we took were positive for the American people. It’s not enough to save people from a Depression though – 9 and a half percent unemployment is intolerable and as long as we have that we have to continue to fight for job creation.”

Almost...but not quite....makes me feel sorry for the TSA agent.

My bet? She charters a plane. She's got the bucks to handle it.

ROFLMAO! After creating an expensive new entitlement and adding almost a trillion dollars to our debt, she now says they were focused on “deficit reduction.”

Sure and Lyndon LaRouche is right the Queen Of England was a drug dealer!

Well Deary, at least we know that you’ll never ever be in charge of anything ever again and you and your party and your president are a laughing stock.
