Thank goodness Pelosi isnt speaker

[sarahgop]

If she were then amnesty would be fully funded, planned parenthood fully funded, H2B visas would be quadrupled, sanctuary cities funded, and would fund resettling illegals in US.

I know. I am trying not to post in anger. The RINO had power of purse for what? six years? They gave this wacko Leftist any and all funding every year. Even if GOVT shutdown......80% stays open. The rest is non-essential! you can't make this up. $20T and they employ non-essential!

The more I think about it the more angry I get. DEBT will kill this country. Children now will have to pay 90% tax rates. Funding in place to re-settle illegals (not deport) and over 100K Syrians (but they say 10K)

Good luck getting that past Obama's veto. Of course, you don't care if we become a disfunctional shit hole as you're a radical freak.

When interest rates rise to only 1% the yearly total DEBT interest payment will be more than National Defense.

Best comment I've heard about pelosi was "listening to her was like trying to nail jello to a tree".

A study in contrast, first days on the job

Pelosi: House Democrats 2007: Bill Enacting Recommendations Of The 9/11 Commission
The bill easily passed the House on Jan. 9, 2007; the vote was 299 to 128, with 68 Republicans voted "yea." The legislation, which passed the Senate and was signed into law, implemented the national security recommendations of the independent, bipartisan 9/11 Commission.

Boehner: House Republicans 2011: Reading The Constitution On The House Floor
In a nod to the Tea Party activists who helped propel scores of freshmen GOP lawmakers into House and Senate seats, Republicans staged the first-ever reading of the entire Constitution on the House floor. The reading excluded original sections of the Constitution that were later amended, including references to slaves. Republican lawmakers did not initially notice that important paragraphs were left out when two pages stuck together.

Pelosi:
House Democrats 2007: The Fair Minimum Wage Act
The measure passed the House on Jan. 10, 2007; the vote was 315 to 116, with 82 Republicans voting "yea." The legislation increased the minimum wage for the first time in ten years, boosting the salaries of 13 million American workers.

Boehner: House Republicans 2011: Measure To Repeal Health Care Reform
The bill passed the House on Jan. 19, 2011, with three Democrats voting "yea." The health care bill that the House would repeal allows parents to keep children on their health plans until the age of 26, bars insurers from denying service due to preexisting conditions, expands Medicaid funding dramatically and extends coverage to some 30 million uninsured Americans by 2019.

Pelosi: House Democrats 2007: The Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act
The measure passed the House on Jan. 11, 2007; the vote was 253 to 174, with 37 Republicans voting "yea." The House voted to expand research and help unlock the promise of stem cell therapies to cure diseases and alleviate human suffering.

President Bush vetoed the bill on June 19 the same year; it was not enacted into law.

Boehner: House Republicans 2011: Stop The OverPrinting Act
The measure passed the House on Jan. 18, 2011; the vote was 399 to 0, with 165 Democrats voting "yea." The bill eliminates the requirement that a hard copy be printed of every bill and resolution introduced by a member of Congress and makes these items available online instead.

Pelosi: House Democrats 2007: The Medicare Prescription Drug Price Negotiation Act
The Medicare Prescription Drug Price Negotiation Act passed the House on Jan. 12, 2007; the vote was 255-170, with 24 Republicans voting "yea." It was designed to help reduce the cost of prescription drugs for seniors and people with disabilities by requiring Medicare to leverage its substantial bargaining power to buy prescription drugs at the best possible bulk prices and pass the savings on to citizens.

The bill narrowly failed in the Senate.

Boehner: House Republicans 2011: Failure Of The Patriot Act
Twenty-six Republicans voted against extending key provisions of the Patriot Act due to expire at the end of February. Republican leadership was seven votes short of passing the legislation, which would have kept three measures used by law enforcement and intelligence officials in place.

Pelosi: House Democrats 2007: College Student Relief Act
The College Student Relief Act passed the House on Jan. 17, 2007; the vote was 356-71, with 124 Republicans voting "yea." The legislation, which would amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to make college more affordable by cutting student loan interest rates in half, stalled in the Senate.

Boehner: House Republicans 2011: A Resolution Calling For Spending Cuts
A budgetless resolution to reduce "non-security" spending passed the House on Jan. 25, 2011. The vote was 256 to 165, with 17 Democrats voting "yea." In another symbolic gesture, Republicans brought to the floor a one-page resolution that threatened to cut thousands of government programs, while offering no numbers or specifics on what or how much would be cut.

At least one GOP lawmaker has candidly admitted the resolution was introduced only to manufacture floor debate on spending cuts in advance of the president's State of the Union address.

Pelosi: The Energy Independence And Security Act
The Energy Independence And Security Act passed on Jan. 18, 2007; the vote was 264-163, with 36 Republicans voting "yea." The legislation was designed to make America more energy independent and help fight global warming by rolling back multi-billion dollar taxpayer subsidies for Big Oil companies and reinvesting in renewable energy resources.

An amended version of the legislation passed the Senate on June 21, 2007, and was signed into law by then-President George W. Bush.

Boehner: House Republicans 2011: Measure To End Public Financing For Presidential Campaigns
The measure passed the House on Jan. 26, 2011; the vote was 239-160, with ten Democrats, most of them Blue Dogs, voting "yea." The bill would place control of presidential elections more squarely into the hands of corporate donors, suspending a 35-year-old program allowing taxpayers divert $3 to a general fund in the Treasury when filing taxes, without reducing their refund.
