Opinion in Brief

Gary Bauer: “A reporter from The Daily Caller asked Pelosi to reconcile her claim of ‘Armageddon’ versus the reality of bigger paychecks and bonuses. Incredibly, she suggested that the bonuses were ‘pathetic,’ that the pay raises and other benefit increases were ‘crumbs’ and ‘insignificant.’ For the record, Nancy Pelosi is one of the wealthiest members of Congress. Perhaps a few extra dollars per hour is ‘insignificant’ to her. But to the millions of Americans who live paycheck to paycheck, it is anything but ‘insignificant.’ No doubt a $1,000 bonus seems like ‘crumbs’ to Ms. Pelosi. That’s probably just a nice dinner at a fancy San Francisco restaurant for her and a few friends. But to millions of Americans who would struggle to pay for a $400 emergency, that $1,000 bonus is anything but ‘crumbs.’ Pelosi spends so much time flying back and forth from the DC Swamp to the San Francisco zoo that she has no idea how the typical family lives in ‘flyover country’ or the American heartland. Now that’s pathetic!”
