500 Million Jobs?

February 5th, 2009 by TimMc | Print 500 Million Jobs?


Recently, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested that five hundred million people in the United States are losing their jobs every month in order to emotionally pitch the stimulus bill. Those are some astounding numbers, considering that there are only three hundred three million Americans.

Of course, she meant to say five hundred thousand per month. But still…one can’t help but wonder (once again) about the credibility of our “leaders.”

In light of the wonderful happenings in our nation’s Capitol these days, I thought I’d find some fitting quotes to highlight my personal opinion on the matter:

Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.
Mark Twain

I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the US Congress.
Ronald Reagan

It is the duty of the President to propose and it is the privilege of the Congress to dispose.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native criminal class except Congress.
Mark Twain
