Speaker Pelosi on proposal by fiscal commission co-chairs

On the Proposal Released by Co-Chairs of the Fiscal Commission

by Speaker Pelosi

Our nation is facing two challenges: the need to create jobs and address our budget deficit. Any viable proposal from the President’s Fiscal Commission must strengthen our economy, but it must do so in a fair way, focusing on how we can effectively promote economic growth.

This proposal is simply unacceptable. Any final proposal from the Commission should do what is right for our children and grandchildren’s economic security as well as for our nation’s fiscal security, and it must do what is right for our seniors, who are counting on the bedrock promises of Social Security and Medicare. And it must strengthen America’s middle class families–under siege for the last decade, and unable to withstand further encroachment on their economic security.

1. Thanks to her for speaking plainly. Too bad the White House decided to wait and stay silent.

Another reason for her to stay minority leader.
