Incredible clip from 1996. Nancy Pelosi on tariffs and the trade deficit with China.
"On this day, your member of Congress could have drawn the line to say to the President of the United States, do something about this US-China trade relationship that is a job loser for the United States."
Thirty years later and our annual trade deficit is now approximately $300 billion annually with China. Our politicians did nothing to stop this. They sold out America.
Now politicians, including Pelosi, are saying that not only China, but all countries should be able to tariff us and we shouldn't respond in kind.
“As empty vessels make the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest blabbers”.
Attributed to Plato.
I thought it was Buddhist.
When I hear it I think of a large oil drum that is full and makes a thudding clunk sound. But an empty one makes a resounding ringing sound when hit with a metal rod.
Nancy blows with the political winds. Or maybe she just blows…. Not that I would ever take advantage of that….
bkmk
I’d say that Democrats are hypocrites but that would be redundant.
She looked like an old bat 30 years ago.
