Recently there has been information floating around about the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi (D) of San Francisco, CA.
Interesting that Mrs. Pelosi, on the coat-tails of Obama, preached the negative aspects of "earmarks" and "pork" in legislation (of course after John McCain called the Democrats on it during the campaign), yet at the same time she added her own "pork" to the latest stimulus package designed to stimulate the economy.
"First Female Speaker of the House, and one of the dumbest (she was quoted as saying,"Natural Gas is a renewable resource") and most corrupt. You never hear about this in the media because it is not politically correct.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's home district includes San Francisco . Star-Kist Tuna's headquarters are in San Francisco, Pelosi's home district. Star-Kist is owned by Del Monte Foods and is a major contributor to Pelosi. Star-Kist is the major employer in American Samoa employing 75% of the Samoan work force. Paul Pelosi, Nancy's husband, owns $17 million dollars of Star-Kist stock. In January, 2007 when the minimum wage was increased from $5.15 to $7.25, Pelosi had American Samoa exempted from the increase so Del Monte would not have to pay the higher wage. This would make Del Monte products less expensive than their competition's. Last week when the huge bailout bill was passed, Pelosi added an earmark to the final bill adding $33 million dollars for an 'economic development credit in American Samoa '.
Pelosi has called the Bush Administration "CORRUPT" ? ? "
How do you spell "HYPOCRISY" ?......P-E-L-O-S-I
How exactly is a $33 billion economic development credit going to "create jobs" in the United States as the Speaker and President have promised over and over and over and over that the "stimulus" bill would do?
