Pelosi Speaks

“We have to recognize that education, a change in energy policy and healthcare reform are what will turn the economy around, bring money to the Treasury, make us competitive internationally and put the economy on a much more stable footing as we go into the future,” Nancy Pelosi said.

Sounds really great, doesn’t it. But let’s look at what she is truly saying. She wants to bring money into the Treasury, not into your pocket or mine. She wants to spend, which is not the way to revive the economy. What we need are jobs–jobs in private industry, jobs that will last. How do infrastructure projects, energy policy and healthcare reform make the U.S. more competitive? How do they create permanent, lasting jobs?
