Nope never underestimated Pelosi she is still living up to expectations
Pelosi passed:
The Affordable Care Act: Better known as Obamacare with the public option (the option was eventually taken out for the Republican compromise of the Heritage Foundation mandate, yeah the one they say they hate).
A total failuer and is costing many who could afford insurance before to not be able to now.
With the famous line we have to pass it to find out whats in it.
Dodd-Frank: This Wall Street reform was passed as a response to the recession of 2008 with hope that a financial crisis like that will never happen again and in hopes that banks will never become too big to fail.
Over turned and didnt help
Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay: Sought to make sure women receive equal pay for equal work.
Economic Stimulus Act of 2008: Passed to lessen the blow of a recession and boost the economy away from a financial freefall. “The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 put $787 billion into the economy in hope of blunting the effect of the recession.”
No home owner who lost home had any part in this bill, but all the fat cats got money they didn't need.
The repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell: Which allowed LGBTQ individuals in our military to serve openly without consequence.
A real big help with the military not to mention opened the way for transgender surgery assignment at the cost of the taxpayer
Via Politico, she also passed:
111th Congress:
Credit Card Reform: The Credit Card Holders Bill of Rights issued new regulations on card companies, demanding that they increase transparency.
CC rates went up 7%
Student Loans: The Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act increases the amount of Pell Grants for college students.
More people are going bankrupt and still have to pay student loans
Tobacco Regulation: The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act gave the Food and Drug Administration the power to regulate the tobacco industry.
No win here either since the fines penalties and taxes have not made a dent in the government and we pay legal fees.
Food Safety: The Food Safety Modernization Act would give the Food and Drug Administration more power over food producers (passed by Senate, not yet signed into law).
