Cavuto: Big Spending In a Jam

Missed Friday's Cavuto ? Catch "The Deal" right here on FOXBusiness.com

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) might not like my saying this, but the worse things look for her, the better things look for you.

Not all of you.

But enough of you concerned about a government moving too far, too fast, and spending too much.

Here’s the deal:

The Speaker’s in a stew. Not good for Nancy Pelosi.

And not good for what had, only days ago, looked like a slam-dunk ambitious, lightening legislative agenda.

An agenda that would have produced a health-care package, financial-regulatory reform package, environmental-cleanup package, another stimulus package and, very likely, a nicely tied and bowed Supreme Court pick package –- all by July 31.

Then, out of nowhere, someone lost the package. All the packages.

Someone named Nancy. Not deliberately -– but clearly.

And suddenly, it’s no longer what government program will expand and when.

But what Nancy knew about torture, and when.

Now, not only does her legislative agenda look to be in doubt.

Surprisingly, so too Pelosi’s ability to be the one carrying it out.

I’m not saying she’s done.

I am saying, for the Speaker, things won’t be fun.

Her number two is calling for hearings.

Republicans are calling for blood.

And lots of average folks calling for answers.

Folks wondering how an $800 billion stimulus plan that was rushed through ain’t exactly rushng its way to us.

Only millions thus far –- and many getting that dough aren’t even alive.

You heard me right. Stimulus checks rushed to mailboxes of homes whose owners have left those homes – and, for that matter – this world.

Out-of-this-world crazy.

And folks are getting crazy mad.

At Nancy and what she knew and when.

And at Congress on spending so damn much, and why.

I’m not saying the big spending has stopped.

I am saying it has hit a major traffic jam.
