Dems Seek New Federal Budget in New Year

WASHINGTON -- Reconsidering the federal budget should be one of Congress' first priorities in the new year, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Saturday in the Democrats' weekly radio address.

"Today as Americans are making New Year's resolutions, our Democratic New Year's resolution is to renew America's promise," the California congresswoman said.

A budget that addresses issues such as health care and education would create a better future for the American people, she said, but the current Republican spending plan fails to do so.

With {the Democrats'} plan, she said, the government could wisely invest in issues that are important to Americans, such as education, health care and keeping energy costs down. Proposed spending cuts for these programs has drawn fiery debate in Congress in recent weeks.

"We must draw a fiscal line in the sand. And we must join the religious community in drawing a moral line in the sand," Pelosi said. "Nothing less is at stake than the well-being of America's children, the strength and soundness of our economy, and the respect that America commands in the world."

1. Pelosi must be doing well; Hannity was is a dither over her and Dean

and a few others as extremists or some such nonsense.

He had some Republican cheerleader turned Rep. cheerleader-author on yesterday. She was peddling some book ('Indivisible') claiming all Americans are right-wingers. The usual clap-trap.
