When Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) gave her inaugural address as speaker of the House in 2007, she vowed there would be “no new deficit spending.” Since that day, the national debt has increased by $5 trillion, according to the U.S. Treasury Department.
"After years of historic deficits, this 110th Congress will commit itself to a higher standard: Pay as you go, no new deficit spending,” Pelosi said in her speech from the speaker’s podium. “Our new America will provide unlimited opportunity for future generations, not burden them with mountains of debt."

"We really were committed to 'draining the swamp' too, but all that budget balancing kept getting in the way. Then Harry had trouble with all those peskey 'smelly tourists' so our inter-chamber communications broke down...but just a little bit....like when we had to cancel because I really, really had to get back to San Francisco for the wine-and-cheese for the Transgendered Lesbian Poodles and non-religious Santa baskets for Guantanamo Torture Victims for Ramadan....We put special bottles of brandy with little baggies of what my all my maids call "Chee Cha Rhonies"....isn't that the cutest sounding thing, like that Hispanic Dance they do during their mating festivals, I just love their grass skirts and the way they climb the coconut trees....it's fried pig fat...but those people will eat anything.....and with a cute al Qaeda flag....they have a flag don't they?.....and anyway....after all the lies from Bush we figured it was the least we could do....and everything...it was like a real 'reaching-out moment' ....we named the wine Vin de Mohammed with a nice picture of him on a sleigh with eight tiny reincamels on the label.....We're just really committed to make certain that the people who should be paying their fair share...The ones who always escape through the fruitloops, I mean loop holes....leaving the burden on the unemployed, the people spending their AFDC in the casinos and bingo parlours....the people who have to sell their Lone Star Cards for 30 cents on the dollar just to be able to put their meth and crack on the table for the family....And the Oil Companies doing the work of the snake handling Christians....and the Pope making all kinds of errors on Roman Catholic Canons and Dogma, I am SO GLAD I set him straight on that one because I really feel strongly about the things that I feel very strongly about. And so that is why we are here to-day in .....in......Where am I? Is this Rome....? What? Muskogee? Where in the Hell is Musdogee? What am I doing here?"
(Everyone applauds and cheers, and then they both leave.)
You people who read this think that I take cheap shots at the minority leader, and maybe it is true. But it is so easy to take cheap shots at a person who inherited and married wealth and yet rails against the "Rich" (who always seem to wind up being you and me), never did anything worthwhile except be waited on, has set records for length of time with no measurable left-brain activity, and who does the things she accuses others of doing....when the others either are not doing it or are doing it to a much lesser degree. It takes a real pro! Like Bill Clinton tieing up LAX for three hours to get his hair done by Frankie the HairDresser to the Stars ,
But, just to be fair, she goes through a lot. Data prep, fact checking, looking just right, political negotiations.....you have to work hard, do your best, and look your best. So I'll give her that. You just have to admire her wardrobe and accessories and everything. How does she always manage to look ....'just so'?
