Speaker Pelosi on Restoring Pay-As-You-Go Budget Discipline

Today, the House passed the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act 2009 (HR 2920) by a vote of 265-166. This bill requires Congress to offset the costs of tax cuts or increases in entitlement spending with savings elsewhere in the budget. If the net effect of all legislation enacted during a session of Congress increased the deficit, there would be an across-the-board reduction in certain mandatory programs. By restoring pay-as-you-go' budget discipline as the law of the land, we are returning to the basic rule for every family budget: you don't spend money you don't have.

Never mind her actual record and the fact that she helped pass pay-go laws to get spending under control. Never mind that all 40 repub Senators voted against pay go. Since it doesn't conform with these right wing idiots on this board and the insults they want to throw around.
