Can anyone point out any substantive criticism of Pelosi?

92. You do realise that she repeatedly waived paygo in her previous stint as Speaker right?

She likes to use these rules to one-up Republicans when she can right?

Just to hash it out more: Since 2010, Paygo has been a statutory rule , if adopted as a House rule it won't stop Nancy waiving it as she tends to. Republicans have been using paygo as a "cutgo" , and like the proposed tax rule, I suspect this is politics from Nancy shut down claims of tax hikes on the most vulnerable ( all she'll need to do is point to the tax rebates in the 2008-10 period). When Nancy has the votes for progressive legislation that can actually be passed, she pushes through with it.

I'm actually stunned at the manufactured outrage over both paygo and the proposed tax rule she wants to implement which flips Ryan's own rule where you need a super majority for a tax hike on the rich. Pelosi's rule flips this on its head.

Just to be clear.. I don't particularly care for paygo personally but I see it as one of those political tools used strategically in weird ways. My point is I don't think it's really that much of a concern when it comes to Pelosi's use of it.
