Nancy Pelosi's Message

The Miami Herald has a statement from Nancy Pelosi:

With integrity, civility and fiscal responsibility as our guide, Democrats intend to move forward with the agenda for change on which we were elected. We will make America safer by implementing the recommendations of the 9/11 commission; make our economy fairer by raising the minimum wage and ending taxpayer subsidies for sending jobs overseas; make college more affordable by cutting the interest rates on student loans; improve healthcare by allowing Medicare to negotiate for lower prescription drug prices and promoting stem cell research; achieve energy independence within 10 years by investing America's energy dollars in the Midwest instead of the Middle East; and guarantee a dignified retirement by improving Medicare, protecting Social Security and making it easier to save for retirement.

To Nancy Pelosi:the state is salvation.
