Pelosi: Trump budget a ‘slap in the face’
The Hill, Mar 16, 2017, Mike Lillis

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) hammered the Trump administration’s new budget proposal on Thursday, framing the president’s federal spending blueprint as an immoral demolition of government that’s doomed in Congress.

"I don’t see how this budget can survive the light of day,” Pelosi said during a press briefing in the Capitol.

“This budget is really a slap in the face of the future.”

***
Pelosi characterized the proposal as evidence of the Republicans’ desire to dismantle the power and sweep of the federal government, even if it means slashing programs for education, the environment and low-income Americans.

“This is all about a philosophical distrust of the role of the federal government in any way of meeting the needs of the American people,” Pelosi said.

“Should we subject all spending to the harshest scrutiny? We certainly should … to make sure those investments accomplish what they set out to do,” Pelosi added.

Well, if she sees it as the Liberal apocalypse, it can't be all bad.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I like seeing "Pelosi" and "slap in the face" in the same sentence. I can dream,  can't I?

Damn right Nancy and getting millions of Americans off the federal plantation in the process will be a huge additional benefit!

If you slap that biotch in the face will it sound like a snare drum?

During the last 8 years Obama and Pelosi doubled the cumulative national debt. That is the factual truth about the "harsh scrutiny" with taxpayers hard earned money.

"If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, You will save $2,500 per year, but we have to pass the budgets to see what is in them."

The only credibility the dems have, is with their plantation residents. Takers on benefits and/or with government jobs.

Poor Nancy, of course she is upset with the federal government being cut back, it's bloated level is what made possible a mere civil servant like her being able to have a networth of a miserable, miniscule, paltry $196 million. If government spending is reined in, how will the next honest congresscritter or senator be able to direct business and insider info to their spouse so as to make obscene profits, I mean what would be the point of public service?

For a split second there I imagined the headline was  "Trump Bitch Slaps Pelosi In The Face".

Whereupon I intended to light speed over to Youtube to see if anyone uploaded video, because I would loop that and make that a giant  animated GIF that takes up my whole screen.

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

After 50 years of botox, do you really think she'd feel anything?

Every time Nancy opens her mouth she now becomes more and more irrelevant.
