Who: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calf. What: Asked why Democrats didn’t pass a budget when they controlled both chambers of Congress, Pelosi replied that they passed the 2009 stimulus, “which was a form of budget.”
Why it’s dim: The stimulus wasn’t a budget. Budgets limit spending, and Democrats have gone nearly three years without passing one.
Cure: For starters, tell Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., to pass a real budget.
