Yeah, except you're leaving out one detail--she wasn't the Speaker during the time when the RepubliQ passed the Trump tax giveaway. That starved the government of revenue and has since added $20 trillion to the national debt.

Dollars, not horseshit.

 

The addition to the deficit caused by those tax cuts for 2023 will be over $3 trillion. Yay Trump!

Pelosi was not speaker during the Trump horror, and that's when the budget-crushing Trump tax cuts were enacted.

If I borrowed a $100,000, and went on vacation after vacation, people would also say that I'm doing well.  Spending the next generation's money now is not a goog thing.  $665 billion in borrowing this year alone.

It has been repeatedly shown that income tax receipts went up & the top 10%s share increased. The problem was that spending went up way faster than collections. 

But stupid Kevin as well as the other liberals can't face that fact.
