Pelosi says 'the cupboard is bare'
By ELIZABETH TITUS | 9/22/13 9:35 AM EDT
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says that while deficit reduction is a laudable goal, there are precious few spending cuts left to negotiate in exchange for raising the debt ceiling.
"The cupboard is bare," the California Democrat said in an interview aired Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union." "There's no more cuts to make."
"We all want to reduce the deficit," she added. "Put everything on the table, review it, but you cannot have any more cuts just for the sake of cuts. Right now you’re taking trophies."
Pelosi said raising the debt ceiling is "an issue that really shouldn’t be a conversation," defending President Barack Obama's record on deficit reduction so far.
She blasted House Republicans who eye reductions to entitlement funding and took aim at them on a budget strategy tied to defunding Obamacare that she said amounts to them as "legislative arsonists."

AS usual, Pelousi gets it backward. When the cupboard is bare, there is nothing left "to spend!!.
It’s about time for them to give themselves another pay raise.
Go home Nancy back to Callyland. We the tax payers will be glad to pay for just one more government aircraft flight for just you. Like the countless flights you have stiffed us for at commercial dollar if you even paid at all. Save us this money and the aggravation of being exposed to your idiocracy.
these people are backwards.
NOT spending money you don’t have is being a deadbeat?
What “STRETCH”Is Trying To Say Is Their Is NO MORE MONEY TO PI$$ AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They fought to get Obamacare subsidies for Congress and their staff. Is she telling us they let the poor inner-city children go hungry so Congress and their staff could have cheap health care?
....borrow more of somebody else money so we can live large forever...GEEZ....It ain't rocket science...What could go wrong??
IT'S THAT SIMPLE!!.....They're always talking about RAISING revenue.....but when you try to explain that to a liberal.....their eyes glaze over and their brains stop functioning.....Try it!....I'm not kidding...
They don’t have any cuts left in their vote buying budget.
The cupboard is bare and Obama&C0. caused it.
Thanks for that one, unifox. I’d never even heard of it.
Chainsaw and scalpel needed on FEDZILLA. Surgical strikes and a chainsaw massacre to these socialist constructs. BIG GOVERNMENT IS CRONY SOCIALISM.
