Nancy Pelosi: There Are No More Cuts To Be Made In Federal Spending

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is well known for some of the most outrageous statements that are simply outside of the realm of sanity and this past Sunday on CNN's State of the Union, Pelosi said that President Obama shouldn't negotiate over the debt ceiling because there are "no more cuts to make."
CNN's Candy Crowley noted that other presidents have negotiated over the debt ceiling and asked why Obama shouldn't this time around as he has done before and Pelosi's answer was, "Because the cupboard is bare. There's no more cuts to make, it's really important that people understand that. We all want to reduce the deficit." Did you get that? Nancy Pelosi actually has the audacity to say federal spending cannot be cut any further because everything that can be cut already has been cut.
"You cannot have any more cuts just for the sake of cuts" Pelosi continued, noting the deficit reduction that has occurred under President Obama. Of course we all know that most or all of these cuts are non-existent and are simply savings on the rate of increase which in reality are not cuts at all.
What do you think, are there more cuts to be made to the deficit and is Nancy Pelosi off her rocker? Watch the video below and leave your comments after that.

This Just In: Washington Pols Out of Touch

September 23, 2013

Democratic House Leader Says It’s Not Possible To Cut Anymore Spending.

It’s no secret that the United States’ mounting debt has caused plenty of trouble for Congress. Now, certain members are out-right ignoring the nation’s spending problem, leaving the American people even further away from an economic solution. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., made headlines over the weekend when she claimed that Congress had run out of options for cutting spending.

“The cupboard is bare,” the California Democrat said in an interview that aired Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “There’s no more cuts to make.”
“We all want to reduce the deficit,” she added. “Put everything on the table, review it, but you cannot have any more cuts just for the sake of cuts. Right now you’re taking trophies.”

However, while Rep. Pelosi was insisting the job was done, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reported last week that the United States is facing a long-term economic crisis unless government spending is cut. This is the problem. Every time Washington claims spending cuts are impossible, we hear about more wasteful and inefficient programs that are pouring our tax dollars down the drain. It shouldn’t take a crisis to get Washington to do what’s responsible.

Rep. Pelosi joins a long list of out-of-touch Washington politicians who are more interested in partisan politics than actually finding ways to reduce government spending. In fact, Bankrupting America is running a TV ad parodying her exact position. After pushing the national debt to nearly $17 trillion and running annual trillion dollar deficits, Washington expects us to think the federal government is operating at max efficiency?

A recent Public Notice poll, conducted by the Tarrance Group, showed that nearly six in 10 Americans believe that a debt ceiling increase should be accompanied by spending cuts. The American people have clearly had enough of Washington being fiscally irresponsible, and are ready for a change. It’s time for lawmakers to admit to their spending problem and get to work on finding a solution.

Outrageous: Nancy Pelosi

September 23, 2013

Nancy Pelosi has been on a roll lately. She's made not one, not two but three outrageous statements. I believe this speaks to the desperation lawmakers are feeling in Washington, knowing that Americans aren't too pleased, especially with the on-coming train wreck known as ObamaCare.

Pelosi told CNN over the weekend that Republican efforts to cut government spending are pointless. Pelosi says, “The cupboard is bare. There’s no more cuts to make. It’s really important that people understand that.” She's got to be kidding, right? As the Washington Times points out, the federal budget has doubled over the last 12 years from $1.9 trillion to $3.8 trillion. Yet we can't cut any spending? Every day we read articles and hear stories of incredibly dumb examples of government waste – robot squirrels, turtle tunnels, you name it! Heritage Foundation expert Patrick Louis Knudsen recently went line-by-line through the federal budget and found $42 billion in unnecessary, poorly run, and duplicative federal government programs. But if you ask Nancy Pelosi, “The cupboard is bare.” She refers to Republicans who want to reduce spending as “legislative arsonists.” That's some pretty tough language, arsonists? I find it hard to believe that anybody from any political persuasion could not honestly look at our federal government and acknowledge that it is too big, too bloated and has grown far beyond the original intention of our framers. But then again, that would get in the way of liberal ideology, which relies on ever-increasing government to maintain ever-increasing power over you.

Another outrageous quote from Nancy Pelosi is in regards to the effort to defund ObamaCare. Pelosi says that those who want to defund ObamaCare want a government shutdown because “they're anti-government ideologues.”

This is exactly the false, liberal spin that was to be expected. Anyone who has been paying attention knows that it is actually the Democrats who would put us in the position of shutting down the government by their unwillingness to negotiate in order to impose ObamaCare on the nation. I would like for Nancy Pelosi to name me one Republicans – just one! – who is advocating for a government shutdown or is “anti-government.”

Nancy Pelosi also referred to ObamaCare as “liberation” for the American people. You heard that correctly! When asked about union opposition to ObamaCare, particularly because of the breakdown of the 40-hour work week, Pelosi told CNN's Candy Crowley: “Overwhelmingly for the American people, this is a liberation, this is life, healthy life, liberty, the freedom to pursue your happiness, which could be follow your passion for good rather than follow your palate and be constrained by your policy. It’s about wellness, it’s about prevention, it’s about a healthier America.” I'd hardly classify ObamaCare as anything close to a liberation. It's difficult to equate more government with more freedom, and yet this is exactly what ObamaCare represents: More government.

I'd also like for Nancy Pelosi to explain how families will be freer after being forced to endure price increases of over $7,000, as predicted here. Fewer choices and higher costs – No wonder she wanted us to pass the bill before we found out what's in it!
