Talk about pulling out all the rhetorical stops. If she truly believes that
slowing down the growth of the US federal government will harm the planet, she's either delusional, stupid, or both. From The Gretawire:
Leader Pelosi is trying to “save world from Republican budget”Urgent: Pelosi on today’s vote: “What we’re trying to do is save the world from the Republican budget….we’re trying to save life on this planet as we know it today.”

“I’m trying to save the planet; I’m trying to save the planet,” she says impatiently when questioned. “I will not have this debate trivialized by their excuse for their failed policy.”
Good grief. How do people like this get into any kind of power whatsoever? She shouldn't be trusted sweeping floors! Just a few choice clips of how much of an idiot this woman truly is:
