Nancy Pelosi understands economics?

This is surely comforting. The WSJ's Political Diary has this discussion by John Fund.

Blue Dogs who are dragged into Speaker Pelosi's office should be aware of just how she is selling the health care bill. Yesterday, she told supporters it represented "real change," because it meant "a cap on your [health care] costs, but no cap on your benefit."

Of course, Nancy Pelosi is the same person who believes that the health care and energy legislation are both stimulus packages.

“I do think the health care bill is a stimulus package. I do believe the energy bill was, (with the) creation of new green jobs, a jump start,” Pelosi said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
