Italian American grandmothers like Nancy Pelosi are the smartest, wisest, strongest, most generous, toughest, compassionate, shrewdest, and kindest people I have ever known.
By Basil L. Merenda
Simply put, Italian American grandmothers like Nancy Pelosi are the smartest, wisest, strongest, most generous, toughest, compassionate, shrewdest, and kindest people I have ever known, and our country benefitted immensely from her two consequential speakerships, first from 2007 to 2011 and then from 2019 to 2023.
Also, during her first tenure, the Congress with her at the helm passed Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act and the Consumer Protection Act, which pulled the reins in on high flying Wall Street speculation and the deregulation, neoliberal economic policy known as Reaganomics of the last 40 years. Reaganomics caused a global financial meltdown and the Great Recession, which wreaked havoc on working folks.
Then with President Biden, Speaker Pelosi was again able to positively impact the daily lives of Americans by passing the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which will finally address a laundry list of neglected issues--- ruinous roads and bridges, broadband access, electrical grid, climate change and clean water--- creating in the process millions of good-paying jobs right here in America.
