Back in 2006...Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called the Republican budget “irresponsible” and “unpatriotic” because it increased the amount of U.S. debt held by foreign countries. Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., accused Republicans of going on “an unprecedented and dangerous borrowing spree” and declared GOP leadership “the most fiscally irresponsible in the history of our country … no other president or Congress even comes close.”
Yet, strangely, when given control of the purse strings, what did the Budget-conscious Pelosi and Reid do?
They wrote a bill (1100 pages, which few in Congress have admitted reading before they voted for it) that gave us an $870 billion tab for our kids and grandkids to pick up (Remember, sticking the tab to our descendants was a BAD THING when done by Republicans).
And there’s this tidbit from our Dear Leader, Obama:
According to a recent analysis by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, Obama's tax plan would add $3.4 trillion to the national debt, including interest, by 2018.And the silence from Pelosi and Reid is deafening.
Doubly Standard Procedure: It's the new true!
