Pelosi was 100% behind this idea previously? I wonder what changed her mind?



FLASHBACK: Remember When Pelosi Was In Favor of the Payroll Tax Cut?




It seems as though Pelosi forgot what she said in 2012 on PBS about this very issue.


"[Payroll tax cuts] are necessary because our economy and our people need this boost. For individual families, 160 million American families, this will be a boost. From a macroeconomic standpoint, the demand is injected into the economy, will spend this money, will be a job creator" the then-Democratic Minority Leader said with a smile.

According to Pelosi, the payroll tax cut plan is an "immediate job booster" because people are more likely to spend money in the economy, which creates jobs.
