Pelosi: President Bush and Republican Congress Are Fiscally Irresponsible

Washington, D.C. - House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today in response to President Bush's news conference this morning:

"I commend the President for pointing out that the Republican-led Congress is fiscally irresponsible. He is right: Republicans have failed to find cuts and control spending. But the President must share in the blame; rather than steering the ship of state, he is letting it run far off course.

"I ask the President and his fellow Republicans to join Democrats to create a bipartisan, balanced package that gets a grip on out-of-control spending and meets the needs of Hurricane Katrina survivors and working families."
