It's either that, or all that botox is finally taking its toll on what's left of her liberal pea-sized brain. Look, I'm sure we all remember when the queen of botox, Nancy Pelosi, rather infamously stated back in 2009: “[E]very month we do not have an economic recovery package, 500 million Americans lose their jobs”? At the time, a few critics dared to point out the fact that Pelosi’s numbers were, at best, questionable and at worst sim,ply a lie. Because if her calculations were correct, and taking into consideration the time she made this claim, America stood to lose 6 billion jobs in 2009 alone. Obviously, this is impossible, hence, Pelosi’s dire prediction was disproved pretty quickly. It’s no secret that, last time the U.S. Census Bureau checked, the U.S. has a population of about 312 million people (and of course not all of them have jobs). So you have to ask yourself, why does she keep saying such idiotic stuff that’s so easy to disprove? It's like she just makes all this crap up and still expects people to believe it because it's she that saying it. And that seems to be a condition that is runs rampant among all Democrats including our, not so stellar, president. He too feels that he can go out on the campaign trail, make shit up as he goes along, and we will just soak it all up because it’s coming from he who views himself as our “Dear Beloved Leader.”
Now, it once again appears as if old Nancy's calculations might be more than a little, off-base. At issue is a statement coming from Pelosi’s office that went after House Republicans for passing legislation that would “allegedly ‘destroy 2 million jobs,’“ and claimed that ”the Obamacare repeal bill alone would ‘destroy more than 300,000 jobs,’” or so reports Joel Gehrke of the Washington Examiner. I can only assume that Ms. Pelosi must, therefore, spend a goodly amount of time in some weird alternate universe where such things make sense. Now according to her little statement, Republicans have held the House majority for more than 230 days and here is their record:
1. Have failed to pass a single piece of legislation to create jobs.
2. Have actually voted to pass legislation that would destroy nearly 2 million jobs including:
3. Passed the “So Be It” spending bill to slash investments in our economic future like education, college aid, life-saving medical research, infrastructure, and clean energy, and cut 700,000 jobs.
4. Passed a budget that would cost Americans 1.7 million jobs by 2014, with 900,000 jobs lost next year, according to Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics.
5. Passed GOP Patients’ Rights Repeal bill puts insurance companies back in charge of health care and repeals the Affordable Care Act, thereby destroying more than 300,000 jobs.
6. Have voted 10 times against Democratic initiatives or efforts to consider Democratic initiatives to create jobs, including:
7. The China Currency bill that could help create about 1 million American manufacturing jobs.
8. An American jobs effort to end government contracts rewarding corporations that ship American jobs overseas.
9. A Build America Bonds proposal that leverages public dollars to strengthen the private sector, growing our economy by rebuilding America’s schools, hospitals, and transit projects.
But let’s go back to the insane “300,000″ jobs claim for a second, if we can, because there are more than a few points that need to be made here. First of all, her idiotic claim that jobs would be destroyed assumes that “Obamacare” would actually create jobs, something that flies directly in the face of what CBO director Douglas Elmendorf said during a 2010 House Budget Committee hearing. Second, even if “Obamacare” is the jobs creator she claims it is, the jobs that would stem from the bill would go to the public sector. Public sector growth and private sector growth are two very different things. Third, maybe Pelosi should hedge her bets and let House Republicans have their way on this one. Although it would mean axing “Obamacare,” and Democrats could still lay claim to having created at least 100,000 new jobs. How so? The Minority Leader herself said that the passage of “Obamacare” would “immediately” create “at least 400,000 jobs”: Therefore, if Republicans actually repeal the act, and it cuts a little over 300,000 non-existent jobs as Pelosi claim, Democrats can still claim that they created at least 100,000 non-existent jobs. Which is something Barry has been doing practically since day one with all of his "saved jobs" nonsense.
Never one not to make the most of any opportunity to slander the opposition, the esteemed Ms. Pelosi’s toxic criticisms continued. “One year ago the Republican majority was sworn into office,” she said during some silly press brief. ”Since that time we have seen no major job agenda put forward. We have seen a budget that would break the Medicare guarantee. This is just in opposition to everything this country needs.” You know, upon hearing such dishonest drivel, I think it very safe to say that old Ms. Pelosi is absolutely certifiable, and is someone who would be much more comfortable in a padded room somewhere. I mean she is so obviously delusional having now officially gone round the bend and yet she maintains her position in Congress. She has reduced herself to being nothing more than a sick joke, deserving of nothing but disdain. It is she and her party who have been, and continue to be, the speed bump on the way of improving things in this country, not the Republicans. Democrats are great when it comes to rewriting history or placing the blame for their inaction on the opposition party. The facts tell a very different story from the one that Pelosi would have us all believe. The truth is of very little importance to the Democrats among who, perception always trumps reality.
You are so American you aren't even an American anymore. At least you are still American enough for fuzzy math and truth fudging.
