Pelosi: ‘Things Like a $500 Billion Slush Fund Was Really Really Insulting’

EXCERPT:

PELOSI: "We can say it when we have a deal. And that could be imminent in a number of hours. I can say we’re all receptive to getting something done. We all know that everybody doesn’t write their own bill, that it’s a series of compromises, and that we think the bill has moved sufficiently to the side of workers with the respect — we actually are talking to the employers about what they think the traffic will bear and the rest. So this isn’t a conversation with workers and not with the airlines or other industries, hospitality, parking, you name it, restaurants, you go down the list and trying to — discreetly trying to address their problem. So it is not a one-sided conversation on our part. However, things like a $500 billion slush fund was really insulting."
