Madame Speaker Pelosi (D) calls out Speaker Boehner (R)

[MuadDib]

What a freak!

 

[Dr.House]

gawd, does anyone take that woman serious anymore?

she should call herself out and RESIGN

The OP does.

The OP is an idiot...

 

[Dot Com]

She's right

Pelosi: Boehner

"To toss this into the mix right now, saying we have to have cuts that exceed even the … extent to which we lift the debt ceiling, is really immature [and] irresponsible," she said. "Let's get serious."

first, she's no longer "madam speaker"

but she's still a lying XXXX

That idiot refused to cut waste and got tossed, and now she's still at it.

why does she and you hate the working poor?

We're not in the Flame Zone, dude.

~Oddball

Calling former Speakers "Speaker" is proper protocol. Why do you think Gingrich is still referred to by his interviewers as "Speaker Gingrich". Same goes for Presidents

Glad to help

edit: thanks to Mod for editing his meltdown as this isn't the Flame Zone.

Jesus who knew legally having to pass spending bills every year and doing so means you are breaking the law and not getting budgets

Who knew Ried was a Republican?

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said he would not bring a budget to the floor for a vote this year, the Hill reports, which would make this the third straight year without such a resolution.

Reid says he won't bring budget to floor this year | Campaign 2012 | Washington Examiner

You lose.

Yes reid saying he wont bring the GOP budget for a vote means no budget was passed.
See when all you try to do is score political points it results in you making posts that even a retard would call retarded
Perhaps if you were trying to find the truth and be intelligent instead of winning then you would not be a retard

That is not what he said. He said he would not bring any budget up for a vote. He lied though, because the Republicans managed to force the Senate to vote on the Ryan budget and the Obama budget. Guess which one got more votes.

It is really pathetic how republicans cannot learn from history. Argentina in 1998 was told to implement austerity to save its economy so it began doing so and immediate went into an economic depression. So the GOP then tells us that if we do the same thing it will result in a different outcome.
I cant wait for Syriza to win Greece elections and ends austerely and Greece begins recovering and then the GOP will claim that the reason is because of austerity in in 2010-2011 (of which when they claim does not exists)

Huh?

The year Argentina imposed austerity measures was 1952, not 1998. Whose history are we supposed to learn from? That was right after they elected Juan Peron for the second time.

Jesus I'm talking about the Argentinana economic depression/ financial crissis in the late 90's/early 00s and you think the year 1952 is relevant
Next will you tell me Ford producing T cars in the 30's means Saving the American auto industry could not of happened
But go on trying to distract from the fact that everytiem asuteirty is tried it fails

If that is what you are talking about why did you mention austerity? What happened in Argentina was a revolution, and the new government defaulted on its debt and went on a massive public works project and gave everyone without a job 150 Pesos a month. Can you explain the similarities between a country totally defaulting on the debt and a country raising taxes to reduce the debt, because I don't see it.

The year 1952 is relevant every time you lolberal moonbats are talking tax rates.

"To toss this into the mix right now, saying we have to have cuts that exceed even the … extent to which we lift the debt ceiling, is really immature [and] irresponsible," she said. "Let's get serious."

Could you imagine Bohner and Romney running this country?

Oh dear god.

Yes I could. The press would be so pissy it would turn itself inside out and inside out again.

Then, all leftist rags would go out of business, because their supporters would realize what partisan hacks the fifth column has become to set aside neutrality for trying to BE what it isn't. Instead of being a bouncing board for people deciding to do the right thing, it has made itself into a downhill sliding board to land the people in the mire of muddled marxism.

"To toss this into the mix right now, saying we have to have cuts that exceed even the … extent to which we lift the debt ceiling, is really immature [and] irresponsible," she said. "Let's get serious."

True. This is at the core of rightist extremism and idiocy.

The economy needs to continue to heal, let’s get more Americans back to work first, on payrolls – paying taxes; every economist has gone on record stating that balancing the budget now won’t foster economic recovery, and could even hinder it. Cuts should be made based on facts and reason, not irresponsible conservative doctrine and dogma.

And what cuts is it that Nancy Pelosi's proposed, Clayton? What I find laughable about her comment...let's get serious...is that when it comes to cutting spending, every time a Republican even suggests cuts, "San Fran Nan" immediately attacks them for being "anti" something.

As for "fostering economic recovery"? Wasn't Nancy Pelosi backing Cap & Trade legislation? Card Check legislation? ObamaCare? Moratoriums on drilling? Dodd Frank? Just what fostering of economic recovery did she ever do? Seriously...this is the woman that thinks unemployment compensation is the best boost to the economy. That's the ONLY thing she's pushed...more money for people that SHE helped keep out of work.

 

[Oldstyle]

Well if wasn’t for Bush and the GOP we would of still had surpluses in the 00’s.
Furthermore dumbass Keynes showed that increasing government deficits in a depressed economy is a good thing. So plz learn the difference between recovery and a depressed economy so you can enter the discussion with a clue
Yea odd how Europe is still in a recession and losing more jobs when they refused to followed that Keynsian bullshit and do the opposite of it.
But plz don’t let reality get in the way of your ignorance.
implmented Keenisain polcies is now ading jobs and growing, every country who did the opposite is losing more jobs and seeing shitty growh/more recession

The Democrats had nothing to do with that?

Yes democrats are not responsible for polices enacted by republicans

Keynes did not show anything,

Okay then reality does not show anything

The stimulus failed on all counts to meet Keynes theory. It did not target the areas that needed it, a good portion of it still has not been spent, and it is now enshrined as a permanent part of out budget. The only jobs it created or saved were imaginary.

I see so increasing spending on areas seeing the most losses is not targeting areas that need it most.
Who knew that temporary spending because enshrined as permanent not anyone with a brain
The 4 million with jobs because of the stimulus act don’t think they are very imaginary

Where exactly did you come up with the notion that the Obama Stimulus was what created 4 million jobs, Star? If you'll remember...the Obama Administration had to invent a new economic statistic "jobs saved" BECAUSE the Obama Stimulus created so few jobs.

What is so hard to understand about jobs saved?

If you are losing 700,000 jobs a month like Bush was and you take actions to slow it down to 100,000.......you don't think you are saving jobs?

And claiming those "actions" slowed down the job loss is like claiming Obama saved the earth from a Martian invasion.

They even included temp jobs that lasted as little as a month as new jobs.

The only things immature and irresponsible are people who think the piggy bank is bottomless and the deficit doesn't have negative consequences.

No. She's not "right."

She's clearly wrong. And she's a fucking moron.

Trust me, Winger...I completely understand about "jobs saved". It was a statistic that this Administration invented because the numbers for "jobs created" were so bad. What was it in the Obama Stimulus that slowed job loss? TARP is what stopped the bleeding...the Obama Stimulus rewarded the public sector unions and green energy big shots that had gotten Barry into the Oval Office while it left everyone else twisting in the wind.

 

[Annie]

She's right

Pelosi: Boehner

So spending money we don't have, not having a budget or even a budget submitted is mature and responsible?

Former speaker, still can't figure it out.

It is impossible to spend money you don’t have. “Hey can I buys this apple with money I don’t have” “while sure you can buy this apple with out buying it”
Furthermore it is impossible for the govt to spend money without having a budget
So come back when you can think for yourself instead of reguirtate talking points that make no logical sense

We've not had a US budget passed by Congress in over 3 years. What we have are reports from CBO on how money is being spent. It's being spent much faster than it's coming in, though Obama would like to change the coming in part and going out part too! It's unsustainable:

Timing of solutions

How urgently should the U.S. put plans in place to address its budget challenges? Fed Chair Ben Bernanke stated in January 2007: "The longer we wait, the more severe, the more draconian, the more difficult the objectives are going to be. I think the right time to start was about 10 years ago."[87]

The President's budget also contains revenue and spending projections for the current fiscal year, the coming fiscal years, as well as several future fiscal years. In recent years, the President's budget contained projections five years into the future. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) issues a "Budget and Economic Outlook" each January and an analysis of the President's budget each March. CBO also issues an updated budget and economic outlook in August.

Actual budget data for prior years is available from the Congressional Budget Office [89] and from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).[90]
