Report: Nancy Pelosi Shortens Far-Left’s Wishlist During ‘Infrastructure’ NegotiationsWendell Husebø 12 Oct 2021
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has shortened the far-left’s wishlist of items within the $3.5 trillion reconciliation package, according to report Tuesday in Politico.
“Speaker Nancy Pelosi fired off a warning to the White House and progressives on reconciliation,” Politico Playbook outlined. “She suggested her caucus wants to coalesce around a smaller list of policy changes that would last longer.”
Pelosi reportedly wrote to her caucus, “Overwhelmingly, the guidance I am receiving from Members is to do fewer things well so that we can still have a transformative impact on families.”
Playbook noted the far-left has been demanding an expansion of welfare handouts in the “reconciliation” package. Those welfare items included free Pre-K, free college, free dental and vision for Medicare.
Pelosi’s strategy of excluding those items means she prefers to have less enacted for a longer amount of time to create a future demand from constituents.
