Pelosi hammers GOP for ‘anti-worker agenda’

Appearing before the United Steelworkers Conference in Las Vegas, Pelosi said the GOP’s focus on deficits over jobs prioritizes the wealthy over the middle class, and she vowed that Democrats on the newly formed supercommittee wouldn’t support a deficit-reduction strategy that harms workers.

“Democrats want to ensure that the Joint Committee on Deficits is also a Joint Committee on Jobs — not just revenues and cuts, but jobs,” Pelosi said, according to her prepared remarks. “All our conversations about reducing the deficit must focus on how to grow an American prosperity enjoyed by all Americans.”
