Can you imagine the sheer audacity of outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., sermonizing that repealing Obamacare would do “very serious violence to the national debt and deficit”? This is the woman whose four-year tenure as speaker saw the national debt explode from $8.67 trillion to $14.01 trillion. She’s the lady who boasted, “Deficit reduction has been a high priority for us. It is our mantra, pay-as-you-go.” Such is the state of Pelosi’s credibility that even 19 of her Democratic colleagues voted against her for speaker.
When it comes to a wide spectrum of issues, I’m not sure which planet Pelosi and her ilk of liberals inhabit, but the Obamacare fiasco takes their otherworldliness to another level altogether — and that’s being charitable because it assumes they’re innocently unaware of how wrong they are.
