Appearing on CBS' "Face the Nation," Pelosi offered her strongest endorsement to-date of the 14th Amendment option, which holds that Congress doesn't have the power to use the debt ceiling as a hostage-taking device because the validity of the debt “shall not be questioned.”
Nancy Pelosi: Well, you ask the Republicans, because we always passed the debt ceiling. When President Bush was president, as he was incurring these massive debts, and the Republicans weren't saying 'boo' at the time. There should be, this is a conversation where there should be no doubt. In fact, if I were president, I'd use the 14th Amendment, which says that the debt of the United States will always be paid.More
Bob Schieffer: You would just go ahead and do it, you wouldn't wait for the Congress?
I'm not trying to be mean, but Pelosi is 72 yrs old and she needs to retire because her advice is no longer credible.
ReplyDeleteShe needs to be out picking berries somewhere. Her head is empty!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so proud that she is from Maryland...ha.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone say... "Nutcase" ?
ReplyDeleteshe needs a spot in the looney bin, right along with obamie, bimbo biden, and ratty reid, and a lot more of congress!!
ReplyDeleteshe might be a nutcase, but she is a very powerful one who has way too much power. we can laugh but does anybody really doubt that if she does not get her way she will just do it. or that if obama does not get his way he will just do it. we own it
ReplyDeleteI HOPE IF THEY RAISE THE DEBT LIMIT CHINA SAYS WE DON'T ANY MORE. THEY ARE FOOLS IF THEY DO!
ReplyDeleteShame they closed MENTAL INSTITUTIONS in the 70's because she is a candidate for the Couch, and group therapy.
ReplyDeleteShe has had so much plastic surgery on her face that her brain doesn't have enough space; thus her stupid opinions. Look at her eyes; they are ready to pop out of their sockets.
ReplyDeleteHate to say it , but , why in the hell do we have a women in this position? She is nuts!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNancy Pelosi inspires me. She's proof that any idiot can make it in life, if they are willing to screw over enough people.
ReplyDeleteUm, does anybody read the 14th the same way as I do? PAYING A DEBT is one thing, and BORROWING TO INCREASE A DEBT is a polar opposite thing. Maybe I need to go back to 2nd grade English class here...
ReplyDeleteHow many of these dollars of public debt were "incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion"?
If they weren't, then the 14th does not even apply! Nancy, you need to read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights using a BRAIN instead of a pine tree.
They spit on the Constitution. Time for REVOLUTION.
ReplyDeleteBush incurred massive debt because of 9/11. Curious George (Obama)has incurred massive debt because his "job" has gone to his head and he loves spending other people's money. Obama, Pelosi and the rest of these idiots are Hitler wanna be's. God help us all.
