So total-government-dependence welfare with no chance of going back to work is an “investment”? In what, chaos?

The government is not in the business of making “investments”. The LORD rebuke Pelosi for this word-twisting.

Other wise Nancy Pelosi quotes:

“Every month that we do not have an economic recovery package 500 million Americans lose their jobs”

“But we have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it...”

“I have deep emotions about the American people. If I were to cry for anything, I would cry for them and the policies they are about to face.”

“Yes, that’s what the Speaker says, and that is certainly in keeping with the anti-government ideologues that are in his caucus,”

I wonder if Pelosi can name the two evil anti-freedom communists most responsible for our anti-government values. Considering one of them authored ObamaCare and the other signed it into law, that shouldn't be hard even for her.

So to Pelosi, the government is the only “public space”.

More focus needs to be put on the DEBT SERVICE rather than just the debt itself and the deficit - not that either of those should be downplayed in importance - but the debt service is one of the huge consequences of high debt. The debt service is going to gobble up more and more of our budget every year if the debt does not cease to grow and start being reduced - which even a deficit of $1 makes worse. The insincerity of the left could be demonstrated by the fact they amounted so much debt that less and less money is available to spend on actual programs and needs and simply goes to the enormous compounding interest from our tens of trillions of debt.

Spain is example of how they are trying to cut spending to stop the downward spiral they are now in due to way too much debt - but the cuts are not able to benefit them to bring down the debt as they get gobbled up by the debt service, and so the downward spiral continues, needed even deeper and more drastic cuts to try to outpace it to reverse the trend.

“Yes, that’s what the Speaker says, and that is certainly in keeping with the anti-government ideologues that are in his caucus,” Pelosi said.

Does anyone make an 'anti-government ideologue' t-shirt?

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Hey Nancy, get out of our House, you moron.

[Teacher317]

Cutting back to the levels of spending we had in 2005... just 8 years ago... would balance the budget. Exactly how many new departments since then, Ms Pelosi??
