They Just Don’t Get It: As Pelosi Vows No More Spending Cuts, Time For Real Talk On Dems’ Failure On Debt

September 25, 2013

  • This week Washington Democrats proved they are simply in denial over our country’s spending problem.

  • Nancy Pelosi has not only vowed to prevent cuts, she’s actually called for more spending and to raise the debt ceiling without any meaningful reforms.

  • Under President Obama and Washington Democrats, our debt has skyrocketed by over $6 trillion, including 4 trillion-dollar budget deficits.

  • Democrats have already burdened the next generation with unthinkable debt—and they have no intention of stopping. The time is now for real reform that will set our nation on a more sustainable fiscal path.
