What we’re discussing privately and publicly, is a budget which is a blueprint for the future which creates jobs, which educates our children, which provides healthcare for all Americans, which takes our deficit down, which gives a tax cut for 95% of the American people.

Pelosi frames the federal budget not as an accounting exercise but as a moral and political “blueprint for the future.” The piling up of clauses (“creates jobs… educates… provides healthcare… takes our deficit down… gives a tax cut…”) is a deliberate rhetorical strategy: it links disparate policy goals into a single narrative of broad-based economic security and social investment. The line also signals a governing philosophy associated with Democratic leadership in the late-2000s/early-2010s—stimulus and job creation, expanded access to healthcare, and middle-class tax relief—while insisting these aims can coexist with deficit reduction. The emphasis on “privately and publicly” suggests a defense against claims of backroom dealing or partisan messaging.
