When did the democrats ever worry about anything being “Immoral, Ineffective and Expensive”? Pelosi is a fraud.

What does Nancy Pelosi know abut “moral”, “effective”, or “cost-benefit ratio”, anyway.

Her moral compass is so far awry that she considers the Republicans to be living in in a “culture of corruption”, as if that were a much worse thing than the Democrats themselves were doing.

“Effective” does not even possibly apply to that travesty known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, which neither protected patients, nor, in the end, was affordable for anyone, considering that there was really no reliable source of funding to cover the subsidized recipients, and the deductibles turned out to be so high that there was no effective coverage until the client-patient has spent themselves in to penury first.

Democrats have NEVER reckoned the balance of expense versus benefit in ANY calculation they make of spending the funds from the US Treasury. They extend benefits without assuring that the cost shall be somehow offset by an increased revenue stream from somewhere else, and as a result, inevitably end up exploding the borrowing rate for government operations at a horrendously exponential rate, not merely increasing, but increasing with compound interest, doubling over a very short period compared to the previous levels.

The lady is merely a more aged version of dear Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Immoral. But all the US citizens being raped, murdered by illegals, not to mention all the kids poisoned by their drugs is “moral”? Pelosi is a pig.

Pelosi, Mueller and far too many on the left are trying to destroy our country and eliminate us. At the point, they impeach Trump, there needs to be a general rejection of what our deep state has become and a nationwide reset.

Pres. Trump signed a pork laden bill only for the almost Trillion funding to rebuild our military. I read somewhere he has the authority to re-direct some of those funds to build the wall. Is that true? The claim is 25 billion would complete the wall. I doubt that small percentage would dent the re-building of our military. Again, true?

It’s not immoral to enforce our borders, it’s not nearly as expensive as most of the other government waste, like public assistance for all the illegals, and she can’t claim it’s ineffective because we’ve never had one to know.

However, the sections that have been built and manned havve worked for the most part.

Stuff it Nancy, and let them build the wall.

Democrats are immoral and ineffective at protecting this nation from threats external and internal.

How dare she make this charge.

$20 billion ONE-TIME shot of money to build the wall while over $120 billion EVERY YEAR is spent supporting foreign invaders. Something is immoral and staggeringly insane about that.

but you see; that money the illegals get in EBT transfers (food stamps) is tacked onto the Dept of Agriculture funding, so they don’t have to call it “social welfare programs”.

Hey, Pelosi....not as expensive as the Ben Ghazi surface to air missile affair. Or Obama's pallet-loads of cash to Iran. Or feeding, clothing, housing & medical for illiterate immigrants on welfare. Or mopping up the tragedy of illegal drugs.

You're on the wrong side of history, if you're on the wrong side of the Wall.

How Are Food Stamps Funded? | The Classroom
One of the largest food subsidy programs in the U.S. is food stamps. According to Cato Institute the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s budget largely consists of this program. In 2009, taxpayers paid $56 billion towards the food stamp program, up from $18 billion in 2000.

Sadly, This is mostly true, For I believe there are some in Congress who agree 100% with Fancy Nancy. Sadly. The other half are indeed spineless.

If these ignorant pubbies REALLY want to fund the border wall they had better do it before 1/3. If they do not, then they really do not want it.

Like my tagline says......if we want our borders secured the People will have to do it.

With each passing day, I am more convinced that if U.S. citizens want their country back, it ain’t gonna happen working within the system.

Well said and I agree fully. There are not enough Citizens left that are willing to pick up their squirrel guns and head to the border. I know from experience.

I ran MM month long watch in '04 and only got 800+ PATRIOTS to show for that month long. That was in '04. Things are a hell of a lot worse now after all of the Obama handouts.

IF PDJT had any good business sense he would realize this and put the military in front of BP and let BP do mop up.

For anyone who insists on keeping abortion legal to argue morality is a joke.

You need to stop using that angle Nancy.

LOL. I was just thinking the same thing. Here is a woman who fully and for her own selfish political ambitions supports abortion that our church is morally and resolutely opposed to. Hypocrites all.
