Pelosi Calls For Super Congress Transparency

Pelosi calling for transparency and using the word "responsible" is a laughing stock.

You have to vote for it to find out what's in it.


Lulz
 
WASHINGTON -- On Saturday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called on the debt reduction "super committee" to do its work in the open.

"The American people are watching to see if the bipartisan Joint Committee will develop a plan to responsibly reduce the deficit in a balanced way while promoting economic growth and creating jobs," Pelosi said in a statement. "The work of this Committee will affect all Americans, and its deliberations should be open the press, to the public and webcast. Any acceptance of the Committee proposal will be dependent on the ability of the American people to fully view its proceedings."

Pelosi is the first congressional leader to call for an open and transparent super committee. She is in charge of appointing three Democratic members of the House to the committee.

Democrats want transparency; T-publicans want secrecy and will likely select their most rigid members for the super committee.​

Wow, that woman has some fucking balls. Where was this Super Transparency when they were writing Obama Care behind closed doors? Nancy saying this is rather like a Thief Complaining that someone stole their coke out of the fridge. Not surprising. You libs and your elected officials excel at Irony, and Hypocrisy.

I think the whole damn super committee idea is an affront to democracy and should be gone. How is it right in a rep Republic that no matter how much of congress either party controls, this committee has to be half and half? Why is it better to have less people have to sign off on something rather than more? But that's just me.
 
Wait, is this the same Pelosi who asked that a law be voted in before we read it?



WTF?


Does anyone take her seriously (other than her plastic surgeon, that is)?

The one and only, and the one who tells us the best way to create jobs is more Unemployment funds.

Nancy Pelosi: The Most Effective Speaker of the House in History

As Nancy Pelosi hands off the Speaker’s gavel to John Boehner today, she also hands him a tough act to follow. Despite insistent attempts to malign her during her four years as Speaker of the House, the California congresswoman turns out to have been arguably the most effective person in that post in U.S. history. And it’s not just rah-rah Democrats saying so.

“We’re looking at an extraordinary set of accomplishments over a brief period of time,” said Norman Ornstein, resident scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute. “She ranks with the most consequential speakers, certainly in the last 75 years.”

If they want Transparency why were they so nontransparent just last year when they still controlled Both houses?

And you clearly do not understand the Republican Party. It is highly unlikely they will appoint "their Most Ridged Member" Because their Most ridged Members could not even keep the Rest of the party from Folding on the debt Deal.
 
I do agree that there needs to be more transparency but coming from her is almost laughable. I applaud her for trying to push this but don't throw stones when living in glass houses.

mmmmm leftwing 'bloggynews'. yeah that's trustworthy.
 
So all of you cons are opposed to transparency now?

lol, good one.
Nope! Not opposed to it at all. We just don't believe her when she says that's what she wants. You don't create a 'second' unconstitutional congress and then claim you want transparency.

I need to point the big issue of all this. The American people were not informed of or had a say in the creation of this super congress. Last time I checked our elected officials could not do anything without consulting with and having he support of the people. Once again our Constitution is being used only to wipe the asses of Washington bureaucrats.
