WaTimes: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has a theory on who should shoulder the blame for over $9 trillion in debt the nation has amassed over the last eight years: former President George W. Bush.
Social Security, Medicare, and ballooning costs for unfunded federal mandates were not singled out on Friday by Mrs. Pelosi during a press conference as the prime drivers of U.S. debt. Instead, the California Democrat said Mr. Bush was culpable for debt incurred during President Obama’s time in the White House.
“When President Obama stood on the steps on the Capitol eight years from next week, the [budget] deficit was $1.4 trillion — one year deficit,” Mrs. Pelosi said, the Washington Examiner reported. “It’s reduced by 70 percent in his administration. Much of the increase in the national debt that has occurred from this time still springs from two unpaid-for wars, cost that we owe our veterans following that, giveaways that they gave to the pharmaceutical industry, and the high-end tax cuts that have carried forward without any job production. Absent the work of President Obama, this national debt would be even higher.” more
The single hardest part of being a liberal politician
is figuring out how to blame someone else for your fuckups.
Gosh. If two unpaid-for wars was irresponsible, then why did they double-down with two more unpaid-for wars on top of it?
Old woman, go home.
I was in the local SS office last week. 75% of the “customers” in the office were young adults in their 20s, all able-bodied, all applying for disability benefits. Is it any wonder the system is bankrupt?
Pelosi has dementia.
I am not being sarcastic.
It is way past time to throw this addled wreck out of ofc.
this congress critter is a walking talking advertisement for term limits.
26,171 bombs dropped by US in 2016. Those unpaid for wars keep marching on. 8 years wasn’t enough to unravel BOOSH, close gitmo, stop climate change, close racial division, spur hope & change, and everything else Obama was supposed to get done.
Bush was responsible for everything from the moment he was inaugurated until the moment Obama leaves office. That kind of ability should have Clark Kent in awe.
Pelosi makes it soooo easy to despise liberals.
While Bush did leave a mess, BO made it 10 times worse.
I thought Congress controlled the purse strings?
Miz pelousie puts the batshit in batshit crazy. Sure Nancy sure, it’s all Bushes fault when your fearless leader barry obummer was responsible for most of that debt. You’re an idiot lady!
So Nancy, we haven’t had a BUDGET since about 2009, and that’s Congress’ job. Where are you responsible for this $$$ mess?
I have no idea whut Bella Pelosi’s IQ is, but I do recognize what she’s doing.
This is pure Communist, brain-washing propaganda designed to target the younger audience that wasn’t around, isn’t taught history in the school system and simply doesn’t know any better!
SHE HAS MSU DISORDER – MAKE SHIT UP!!
I look forward to reading her obituary over my morning coffee and pastry.
The fact that an absolute imbecile like her can rise to a leadership position in congress tells it all about how much trouble this country is in.
Bitch, please!
Kinda hard to rack up a deficit when you, yes you!, didn’t make a budget to begin with.
Nice work, if you can get it, Nancy.
Someone needs to find out where she sleeps during the day, open up her coffin, and drive a stake through her shriveled, dead heart.
Coming on this site each day or early mornings is almost as good as a cup of coffee to get my heart pumping.
Just when I think this *woman* can’t possible say anything more ludicrous, moronic or just plain stupid, she lowers herself to the occasion! Living example that excessive Botox does indeed damage one’s brain.
What a fukkin buffoon.
You can only blame the House of Reprehensible.
ONLY THEY control the purse.
Pelosi, Boehner, and Ryan are the more responsible.
The rest of the feckless traitors are just trying to grab a piece of the pie before, either America wakes up, or the catastrophic financial tsunami hits.
Either way, we should have enough rope …
izlamo delenda est …
I can’t stop laughing long enough at the headline alone to form any other thought. She is “BAT shit Crazy”
Thank you Dennis Miller.
It’s too bad she didn’t have Teddy as
a boyfriend in the 60’s…….
