At her final press conference as House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said, “Deficit reduction has been a high priority for us. It is our mantra, pay-as-you-go.”
The numbers tell a different story.
When the Pelosi Democrats took control of Congress on January 4, 2007, the national debt stood at $8,670,596,242,973.04. The last day of the 111th Congress and Pelosi’s Speakership on December 22, 2010 the national debt was $13,858,529,371,601.09 – a roughly $5.2 trillion increase in just four years. Furthermore, the year over year federal deficit has roughly quadrupled during Pelosi’s four years as speaker, from $342 billion in fiscal year 2007 to an estimated $1.6 trillion at the end of fiscal year 2010.

The media will help them do the "screaming".
The democrats count on most Americans getting their info from sound bites and above the fold headlines which back the democrat positions.
I'm hoping last November proved them less successful. After all, there's no way to spin the unemployment numbers to those (more than 9.8%) who are out of work and those that know those people.

From today on,Pelosi will say the republicans are big spenders and wasting money. Her 29 dollar minnows have been stimulated in california.
Now the Conservatives are smart. They are going to vote on ending Obamacare very soon. It won't pass the senate nor a veto but the nervous and scared Dems will live in fear from this day till the next election because they will be on the record with a vote against the people.
correction. I made a democrat mistake and left off 6 zeros after the 29 minnows. It is 29 million dollar minnows
