Pelosi: We Blew Billions & Got Absolutely Nothing For It
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, November 28, 2009, 12:17 AM
Hello?… Is anyone home?
Nancy Pelosi told leftist supporters today that the the reason Americans are mad about their record spending is that “they’re not getting anything for it.”
And, that’s why she wants a new Stimulus Bill!
FOX News reported, via Ace:
Building the case for a brand new jobs-creation bill, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says most Americans would not mind inflating the already-gaping deficit in exchange for more jobs.
The California Democrat said on a conference call Tuesday that Americans could “absorb” the hit to the federal budget, and she argued that their biggest complaint is not that the deficit is big — it’s that they’re not seeing any benefit in return for increasing the U.S. debt load.
Despite the $787 billion stimulus package passed in February, unemployment climbed to 10.2 percent in October. While critics cite the jobless rate as a sign that the stimulus has failed, Pelosi argues that the federal government is just not trying hard enough.
“We have to shed any weakness that anybody may have about not wanting to be confrontational on this subject for fear that we’d be labeled not sensitive to the deficit,” Pelosi said, in a recording posted by Think Progress.
“The American people have an anger about the growth of the deficit because they’re not getting anything for it.”
So now they want to do it all over again.
What a nightmare.

Only an idiot thinks in order to get out of debt you spend more…and I believe I just described the entire progressive Congress.

Absolute, freaking insanity. I’d like to know who the a-holes are that still believe this crap. So I can punch them in the face.

Worst Speaker ever.
Those who once claimed that it would be the best for the Country, in the name of Conservatism, to lay down for the likes of the Democrats prior to 2006, owe everyone an apology.
Reid, Pelosi, Obama, Clinton, etc., have no idea what they are doing.

Nancy Pelosi:
The American people are angry about the growth of the deficit because they’re not getting anything for it! My spending bill was straight forward.
I and my fellow members in Congress took our standard 33% of the pie. The Obama and his Administration took their 33% of the pie. ACORN and SEIU took their 33% of the pie.
Sure, that leaves little left. But, it should have stimulated the economy – or at least the Limousine and private jet industry. The Taxpayer should have “adsorbed” the hit to their wallets – not to mention the dump truck load of debt. I don’t know what wrong.
[Blink… Blink…Blink]
Hence, I support a new and Bigger Stimulus bill. Something so staggering and inflated that it will make Obama’s ego look like a small pumpkin. We need some number so huge that it will be hard, if not impossible, for the taxpayers to count the zeros.
Something that it will finally allow every Federal worker to afford their own Jumbo Jet… and the accompanying carbon credits.
I may not be an economist but, I am proposing that a new bill be drafted to spend our way out of the old bill – whether it takes tripling or quintupling the current government debt.
Sure, the deficit is big and causing interest rates to go through the roof but I have to sensitive to my “constituents.” That is why we need more debt.
Please, call my driver and tell him to bring the Limousine around front. I am exhausted and drained of Botox after such a grueling press conference. I must get my botox fix. Good day. [Blink…Blink… Blink... Blink...]

Brilliant.
IOpian commented:
She lives in this delusion that government creates job. It’s like using the term ‘democracy’ when in fact our form of government is not a democracy. The SEIU and ACORN practice democracy where the passions of the hordes rule rather than law.
If Nancy wants job creation then get the hell out of the people’s business. We do not exist just for the sake of government. Likewise we do not work to keep feeding the beast. If she wants stimulus then let us keep more of our money to buy things to deplete inventories that need to be restocked. Let us keep our wealth to grow our ability to make even more and hire more people. Make the word ‘investment’ something that is done in the private sector not just an Orwellian name of some idiotic legislation that invests in nothing other than funneling wealth into government jobs that do not create new wealth.

thumbs up. All the government creates are government agencies. And debt that is borderline fanatical.

We ordinary Americans didn’t get anything for our trillion dollars of debt, but Democrat donors, activists, organizations, and unions got plenty – some of which they’ll kickback for the next election cycle.
Pelosi must be feeling the need for an even heavier campaign warchest. She’d strip America to its bloody bones to enrich and empower herself and her friends.

talks of a second stimulus – how much is left
from the 1st! the flood lights need to come out. shifting our attention away from the fact that billions of taxpayer funds have disappeared. a tool created so the average guy can track the package doesn’t actually do that
and cost millions to implement and fix.

I am extremely interested to know exactly where all of the stimulus money has gone. I think that would be a very popular and worthwhile pursuit for any interested GOP politicians, if there are any.

Good Grief, Nancy; what we have got is YOU to blame for it. YOU, HARRY, and B. HUSSEIN OBAMA are why we are mad. You and your fellow Liberal are SMART we are always being told; so maybe by November of next year you will figure this out.
In the meantime here is a Dave Barry quote worth thinking about that Sarah Palin used in Going Rogue: “The Democrats … have the management skills of celery.”
TaSS commented:
There is such a disconnect between congress and the American people.
We are yelling en mass to stop the spending and reduce the size of government and what they are hearing is, “spend more?”
We can’t survive till 2010. They are doing too much damage to our economy and to our country on a daily basis.

After that comment, I’ll bet the little woman doesn’t handle the family finances. In fact, I bet she is on some kind of allowance and her husband writes the checks.
Seeing her in action, I have no doubt the family “voted her off the island” when they sent her to DC.

BackwardsBoy commented:
One wonders if Nancy Pelosi could be any more removed from mainstream thought in America. We don’t want more government, we want governement out of the way so our market can work. We want less taxes and fewer regulation. We want more of our own money. If you cannot do that, then we’ll install someone who can.

i am freaking out of mind angry at the stupidity that keeps electing these clowns into office. rome fell because they wanted loyalty over competency. the democrat brand is becoming justifiably so.
for those still with the obama/biden stickers on your bumpers, sorry about flipping you off. flipping you off prevents me from ramming into your cars.

Governments do not create wealth. They are like parasites. The private sector the host.
Wise governments take just enough to survive without killing their host. A stupid gov’t. kills its host.

Solaratov commented:
The last “stimulus” *Had* to be passed immediately and without being read, because of the “economic crisis”.
And, we were guaranteed that unemployment wouldn’t go over 8%; and that, in fact, 3,500,000 new jobs would be created and millions more “saved”.
WHAT HAPPENED, BARRY????You incompetent tool.
Now, unemployment is over 10.2%, NO new jobs have been created outside of government bureaucrats and summer “jobs” for gangbangers, and no one can tell us where the money has gone or what it went for. Do I have that right?
Uh huh! And now, pelosi feels that (after admitting the failure of the first “stimulus”) that the best solution is to go back to the trough for another big helping of “other people’s money”. That THIS time, it will work out for the people.
WHY DIDN’T IT WORK THE FIRST TIME, NANCY!? You shriveled husk of a once-human creature. Where’s the money, bi+ch?
If they get another “jobs incentive” (“stimulus”), the people will get another $300 check, and congress and their cronies will get richer. Nothing else will happen. No jobs. No help for small business. No new businesses. No incentive for businesses to stay in the USA and not move offshore. Nothing!
Solaratov commented:
And another thing, congress –
Social Security recipients aren’t getting even their measly 2% COLA this year, because you clowns say their’s no inflation to be covered by it.
However, I note the you pigs have hit the trough for a congressional pay raise (COLA). Aren’t you swine making enough from graft, bribes and outright theft? You could at least put on the show of foregoing your COLA. It’d make for good press – and you malefactors and mountebanks could use a little of that.
Think about it, congress!

BO and the rest are going to have to give an account to God. Every thought, motive, word and deed. Leaders are held at a higher standard. There will be no teleprompters or blame shifting. No where to run or hide.
I remind myself that they are just piling up more wrath and everlasting punishment for themselves.
You could say they are Gluttons for Punishment.

Yeah, poop. I guess it is rather embarrassing for your obamassiah to have to be reminded so often of his incompetency.
The question is, salad tosser, just what did we get for our money? (And it is OUR money that your incompetent boob is wasting.)
Even his most ardent lickspittle, pelosi, is admitting that the “stimulus” – which was supposed to create jobs for people – has failed.
But you just keep on slurping up obama’s drool, you idiot salad tosser.
