Hmmm, I wonder how a “men only” economic agenda would go over?

Via LA Times:

At a summer lunch with reporters in her Capitol conference room, Rep. Nancy Pelosi rolled out an ambitious economic agenda for women with next year’s congressional elections in mind.

The California Democrat launched a legislative agenda of family-friendly policies, such as paycheck fairness for women, an increased federal minimum wage, and President Barack Obama’s proposed early childhood education initiative.

The agenda, coming as the legislative season begins to make way for next year’s campaigns, was designed to stand in contrast to bills being debated under the GOP majority on the House floor. “It’s all about letting women know there’s an opportunity for something different,” Pelosi said…

“Women are really struggling today,” said Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Ct., a longtime champion of women’s issues, who sat to Pelosi’s right. “They’re looking for an increase in their income, in equal pay, in education opportunities – that’s the focus of this agenda.” …

“If making this fuss impacts their [Republicans] decision making, that for us is the success,” Pelosi said. “We would rather they join us in this, rather than our having this as a political weapon.”
