Nancy Pelosi slams president for adding trillions in debt in last 8 years (no, not THAT president)

Any answer from Nancy Pelosi other than this to explain the trillions added to the national debt during the Obama years would have been a real surprise:

Pelosi’s as predictable as ever!

“When President Obama stood on the steps on the Capitol eight years from next week, the [budget] deficit was $1.4 trillion — one year deficit,” she said. “It’s reduced by 70 percent in his administration. Much of the increase in the national debt that has occurred from this time still springs from two unpaid-for wars, cost that we owe our veterans following that, giveaways that they gave to the pharmaceutical industry, and the high-end tax cuts that have carried forward without any job production. Absent the work of President Obama, this national debt would be even higher.”

So we’re supposed to THANK Obama for only adding more debt than all previous presidents combined?

But I'm sure any debt from Trump will be COMPLETELY his own fault, right? https://t.co/lIAt8n99eZ
