Pelosi: Republicans Aren’t Interested In Deficit Reduction, They Are Interested In Destroying Government

By Judd Legum

In an interview with ThinkProgress and other online reporters this morning, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) flatly asserted that Republicans were not interested in deficit reduction. Pelosi asserted that the purpose of the GOP obsession with deficits is to destroy government, which she referred to as “the public space.” Pelosi said the programs under attack include “education, clean air, clean water, food safety, public safety” and more. Pelosi concluded, “You name it, they’re there to diminish it, destroy it.” Listen:

3. With that, I concur.

This can not be said enough. This has always been the Right's agenda and they are closing fast.
Why, oh why are so many Dems enabling them?
