I am wondering what her popularity is going to be among House Democrats by the end of the year.

Pelosi: No Stimulus Bill, No February Recess By Jennifer Bendery Roll Call Staff January 8, 2009
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday threatened to keep Members in session over the mid-February recess if Congress has not yet delivered economic stimulus legislation to the president’s desk.
Nine Percent Nancy.
Wonder how low that number can go.
Fine by me ... we don’t need a “stimulus” bill that only stimulates more inane government.
And they called Bush an imperial President?
I have no idea why this nation has not gidded its’ self of this IDIOT! When is someone going to come up with all the dirt on this crazy bitch?! She can’t be clean!
“My way or the highway”.
I don’t want Obama’s construction welfare payment bill, but I don’t see why it should be a “threat” that Congress might actually have to work for more than half of February.
I’d like to see $30 Billion spent to modernize our Electric Grid, as I heard Steve Forbes recommend on Sean Hannity’s radio program last month [he was citing a non-profit (Libertarian?) group who had supplied the idea].
I’d like to see the corporate tax from 35% to at most 30% but don’t see it as likely that it will happen. We’d probably see tax revenues peak with a rate of 28% (according to the Wall Street Journal), but when our tax policy seem to be determined by “fairness” according to the One why should I expect a rational rate for this recession? I’d actually prefer a reduction of the corporate rate to at most 25% (maybe even lower — 20%) as right now is not the time to be trying to maximize tax revenue.
Why should the Republicans care? If she has frozen them out of any decision making they ought to go home and have a nice recess.
If it were me, I would be saying not one Republican vote for this reparations for Democrat voters. May I suggest we call our reps and tell them so ...
Pork is now stimulus.
Sp who is going to stand up for the economy.
She said she don’t need no stinkin publicans so its all on her now.
What a cruel taskmaster.
The dems didn’t dig this hole overnight. they won’t be getting out of it anytime soon either, it seems.
Nancy, you want to stimulate the economy? Resign.
What is this Recess of which she speaks? I don’t even get off Washington’s...er PRESIDENT’S day anymore.
She has quid pro quo money all over the country to stuff into that bill. The “contributors” are getting restless...
Sounds like a win-win.
Sounds like the punishment we were threatened with in elementary school. If we were bad we could not go out for recess.
Things I’d like to see that are reasonable enough to actually garner bi-partisan support:
Allow a $10,000 IRS deduction each for Interest and Dividends on the 1040 form. This would encourage middle class investment and savings. Good for the stock market and banks’ long range health.
Raise the one-time death benefit (established, I think, in 1957) from $255 to something that would actually pay for a minimal funeral, or three months basic living costs, as was the original intent of the benefit.
In addition to allowing a deduction from taxes for the elderly and the blind, also allow one for the totally disabled, as they are often more difficult to care for than the blind. [It would have been a lot easier to care for someone blind, than the last three years of my husbands life with Alzheimers.]
February Recess?? Didn’t they just get back to work??
