‘We Get The Sacrifice, They Get The Wealth’: A Fired-Up Pelosi Tears Into GOP Deficit Plan

[kpete]

Source: Talking Points Memo

"We all want to be fiscally sound," she said. "We don't want to do harm to our economic growth but we know that if we can save some money, we'd like to do that."

The Republicans, Pelosi said, her voice rising, have something very different in mind.

"They do not like the government," Pelosi said. "They're riding an engine of popular support for, ok we have to reduce the deficit. And they're using that to destroy."

"The Speaker has said that between him and the president they have a different vision of America and that's how come their budget proposals are different," she sad. "Quite different...We get the sacrifice, they get the wealth."

7. The Political Wisdom of Kurt Vonnegut

"I myself feel that our country, for whose Constitution I fought in a just war, might as well have been invaded by Martians and body snatchers. Sometimes I wish it had been. What has happened, though, is that it has been taken over by means of the sleaziest, low-comedy, Keystone Cops-style coup d’etat imaginable. And those now in charge of the federal government are upper-crust C-students who know no history or geography, plus not-so-closeted white supremacists, aka 'Christians,' and plus, most frighteningly, psychopathic personalities, or 'PPs.'"

:dilemma:

8. If those Republicans hate their country so what are they doing

at the White House? Just to destroy this country? Shouldn't they be considered terrorists and set an alarm at orange level?
