Quote of the Day

See Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on a Youtube amateur video apparently saying that "500 million Americans lose their jobs" while we try to pass a stimulus bill. Really, Nancy?

Since there are only just over 300 million Americans total, including newborns, school children and the aged and infirm, I suppose she has exaggerated wildly by multiple orders of magnitude. The actual number is probably more like 5 million, or even 500 thousand or 50 thousand.

And we are letting someone so mathematically challenged decide how much taxes we pay, how much the government will spend? Madness....

Hat tip to Matt Drudge for the link to the video.
