Pelosi Bashes GOP Colleagues: Was Your 'Recklessness Worth 24 Billion Dollars to Our Economy'?

VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/pelosi-bashes-gop-colleagues-was-your-recklessness-worth-24-billion-dollars-to-our-economy/

Before the House officially voted to reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi took one final jab at her Republican colleagues, bringing up the immense cost of the government shutdown and asking them at the end of the day if it was really worth raising all that cain about Obamacare.

... get the House back, there needs to be a House rule that if a party tries this again, then they must come up with the money to cover the expense of it. The "conservative" party just blew $24 billion for their foolish playground blackmailing temper tantrum. The "conservative" party that is so damn upset over the effing budget deficit. They should have to pay for it out-of-pocket. Or take it out of their salary. Or put their butts in jail. Or a combination of all three.
