Pelosi: President Bush and Republican Congress Are Fiscally Irresponsible
Washington, D.C. – House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today in response to President Bush’s news conference this morning:
“I commend the President for pointing out that the Republican-led Congress is fiscally irresponsible. He is right: Republicans have failed to find cuts in spending to match their tax cuts for the wealthy. But the President must share in the blame; rather than steering the ship of state, he is letting it run far off course.
“I ask the President and his fellow Republicans to join Democrats to create a bipartisan, balanced package that gets a grip on out-of-control budget deficits and meets the needs of Hurricane Katrina survivors and working families.”
“ Democrats are united in presenting a New Direction for America, one that will make our nation as strong as its people, one that brings opportunity, security, and prosperity to all Americans. ”
Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi
