Nancy Pelosi: “Every month that we do not have an economic stimulus package, 500 million Americans lose their jobs.”
She meant 500,000. Question: Can we use the same math and decrease the economic stimulus package by the same order of magnitude, since Ms. Pelosi thought the problem was 1000 times as bad as it it may be? Divide 1 trillion by 1000, and we’ve at least reduced the boondoggle to 1 billion. It’s still a travesty, but better math.
(NOTE to readers: Check my math. It’s not my best subject either.)
One thought on “Holey Moley: It’s a Math Crisis!”
It’s funny (in a coincidental sort of way). I saw this just a few minutes ago, and I thought, WHAAAAT??Not possible! Then, I realized she probably meant 500,000 jobs.
Also, when you did your math, Sherry, I thought wow! 1 trillion dollars is a THOUSAND BILLION DOLLARS!! Well, I knew it all along. but it’s hard for me wrap my mind around it.
