"I said yesterday we did not have the
majority, but we have the gavel," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi,
D-Calif., said at a press conference Wednesday. The ensuing laughter
prompted the 72-year-old, who once served as the nation's first female
speaker of the House, to reconsider her statement. "Excuse me," she
said. "We don't have the gavel ... We have something more important, we
have unity. We do not have the majority, we do not have the gavel, but
we have unity."
Pelosi's second statement is correct: Democrats are the minority in the House, and they are now more unified than ever. Having shed the few moderates they had, they are more unified around a far-left ideology that has a proven track record of exploding the debt and sinking the economy.
Just look at Pelosi's record as speaker. When she first took the gavel on Jan. 3, 2007, the federal government was on track to spend just $2.7 trillion that year. The federal deficit was a mere $160 billion, and the cumulative national debt was $8.7 trillion. Only 7 million Americans were unemployed, and the nation's unemployment rate was just 4.6 percent.
