Rep. Nancy Pelosi On Budget Cuts: “Republicans Put Women And Children Last”
Former Speaker of the House Democrat Nancy Pelosi took to the floor of the House and declared her strong opposition to proposed cuts to the Federal budget. Regarding certain Republican proposals, Pelosi declared “when it comes to health and education, Republicans put women and children last.”
Furthermore, she was upset that Republicans want to cut housing vouchers to homeless veterans and that they favor proposals resulting in fewer police officers and firefighters. Instead, she seemingly wants Congress to work together to preserve the country’s “values” and alternatively focus on reducing “waste, fraud and abuse” in order to live within our means.
Pelosi’s speech here perfectly demonstrates just how difficult it will be to dramatically reduce the size of the federal budget. Not only do Democrats truly believe certain government programs are vital to society and worth the investment, but Republicans may be too hesitant to target large programs that will leave them open to such criticism, like Pelosi’s, that their cuts might harm the “health and education” of women and children.
