Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi took to the House floor moments ago to rip Republicans for discussing health care instead of jobs and for not debating the budget with an open process.
“The American people are desperate for jobs, they sent us here to work together to create jobs, and in the six weeks of this new majority not one piece of legislation has come forward to create one job,” Pelosi, rising in opposition to the GOP budget bill in general as well as the specific amendment to defund the implementation of the health care law, said. “Showing the lack of ideas to do so, the Republican majority has chosen instead to change the subject. To take up a bill of such consequence without hearings, without really an open process, to make amendments to it with the illusion of open debate.”
