On the recordApril 9, 2014
I was sitting in my office downstairs, and I heard Mr. Brady make the extraordinary claim that it was the Pelosi leadership that led to the doubling of deficits. I would remind the gentleman, as he ought to know and I am sure he does know, not a single economic plan was passed in 2007 or 2008 that changed the Bush economic plan, not a single bill. And to make the assertion that the deepest recession he and I have experienced, Mr. Chairman, in our lifetimes, which occurred under the Bush administration with Bush economic policies was somehow the responsibility of a Pelosi-led Congress is absolutely absurd, incorrect, and the gentleman ought to know better.
