Nancy Pelosi is an embarrassment. Thankfully her bully pulpit is about to be pulled out from under her.

She is charitable though her and her husband thru their foundation saw fit to donate over 95% of it to just two charities, the San Francisco Symphony and Georgetown U, Mr. Pelosi's alma mater. Guess people who are hungry and or homeless can sit outside and kinda hear the concerts.

Wow. So how do you reconcile your comments and cares about what others do with their money, with your political position?

when one preaches, cries, demands etc. etc. etc. that the taxpayer needs to extend unemployment beni's infinitum, provide healthcare to all and pass stimulus after stimulus all on the taxpayer dime yet when it comes to spending her own money chooses a symphony and a respected college over say the poor, it has nothing to do with their money and everything to do with their character and the ole democratic spiritual hymn 'Do What We Say and Not What We Do'

I'm not talking about Pelosi. What political system is it, where one person tells others what to do with their money?

Socialism. The Recipient gets to tell the Provider his new tax rate. The Provider is a slave to the supreme Recipient. The Recipient on the other hand owes nothing to the Provider.

When the Recipients think the Provider is not paying enough, or is faced with necessary adjustments to the social programs they enjoy, they riot, like in the UK and France right now.

John Boehner isn't an embarrassment at all - we need more chain-smoking, too-much-time-off for golfing, malignant melanoma candidates running our world

Get used to him? He's been around forever. It's pretty clear what we're getting.
