Nancy Pelosi Gets Economics Lesson At Georgetown

Share this article

When she made an appearance there, a student gave her an economics lesson she probably never expected and just as possibly never wanted. Justin Caruso of The Daily Caller reported that the student told her of the tax cuts Congress recently passed, which Rep. Pelosi did not vote for: “As the son of small business owners, I know that it’s helped my parents hire more employees. It’s helped us pay off our mortgage, helped put me through college.
On a macro economic level, the economy’s growing, wages are rising for the first time in years.”

“Would you still refer to the effects of this tax plan on average Americans as crumbs?” he asked her.
