Santa Fe New Mexican.com - by Steve Terrell - Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic Party leader in the U.S. House, found a friendly and receptive audience Monday at a federally supported senior center in Santa Fe. The California lawmaker and U.S. Rep. Ben Ray Luján, D-N.M., spoke at the Mary Esther Gonzales Senior Center about protecting Social Security and Medicare during the ongoing deficit and budget battles in Washington, D.C. Pelosi, former House speaker, said the words "Social Security" shouldn't even be used in the same sentence with "deficit reduction."

Luciano "Lucky" Varela and Jim Trujillo, both Santa Fe Democrats, along with Mayor David Coss, City Councilor Patti Bushee and County Commissioner Virginia Vigil. The event featuring Pelosi, who was a major focus of Republican attacks during the last national election, was not widely publicized in advance. Without using the name of Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Pelosi criticized the Republican presidential candidate for referring to Social Security as a "Ponzi scheme."

Pelosi also vowed to be fiscally responsible and "drain the swamp" as speaker. She failed miserably. "...we have to pass it so we can see what's in it...", words that will live in infamy. What a legacy.
