“Not only did Democrats under her Speakership raise discretionary spending 18% in three years, not only did she pass a Pay-Go law and then fail to adhere to it even once, Pelosi became the first Speaker since Watergate to fail to pass a budget resolution for a fiscal year. In 2010, despite having a 77-seat majority in the House, a Senate which her party held by 18 seats, and a Democrat in the White House, Pelosi failed — or refused — to pass a budget for FY2011.”

Don’t bother clearing your throat before you say, “chutzpah.”
“Democrats have long fought for fiscal responsibility as a top priority of this Congress.”
Anybody remember that fight? Anbody? I didn’t think so.
