Nancy Pelosi: "Every month that we don't pass a recovery package, 500 million Americans lose their jobs. I don't think we can go fast enough."

The total U.S. population as of July 2008 was 303 million. Yeah, yeah, she misspoke and meant 500,000, but it also suggests she doesn't have the firmest possible grip on big numbers.

Now, 500,000 workers is a scary number, but I think it's about 1/2 of one percent of the workforce, if that.

Clearly those job losses will be stopped by $330 Million dollars in condom handouts!
