That made me laugh out loud. What did she mean? 500,000? 5 million? Eeeeeesh, what a flub!

Hey Nancy, you've got a little bile on your face there...

I'm not surprised, really. All politicians like to bulls**t numbers. I mean half a billion americans losing their jobs in a year? Even if there were that many people in the work force, you couldn't get rid of them that fast if you were just lining them up and doing it one after another!

Actually, if you do the math, that would be 95 people losing their jobs every second (during work hours: 9-5), so it could happen, but Nancy, this sounds stupid even BEFORE we take into account that their aren't that many Americans.

Makes me wonder who's more moronic- the morons running our country, or the morons that keep electing them to office? Scary, either way.

She must have meant Americans as South and North Americans. :)

My take is that she really did mean to say 500 million in an attempt to stress dire consequences and that is was a spurt of the moment thing that made sense at that second. Build the crisis and gain more support for an over inflated bill. As Rahm Emanuel said... "never let a crisis to go to waste."

She's one of those people in DC that I scratch my head and say ... why? and how? But I have a long list of those on both sides of the aisle.

This story reminds me of Dr. Evil when he goes back in time and he thinks he's making an impressive demand only to be laughed at. "This is the 1960s! There's not that much money in the whole world!"

drunk much?

Am I the only one that gets a red x on the video?

I found it here:

she has been nothing but a train wreck...and an indiot. She and Reid should be sent to the back of the bus... i would have been happier with Harold Ford, Jr.

This is terrible news! If we don't do anything soon... Suddenly 200,000,000 more U.S. citizens will appear, and every single person in the country will be out of work. Even the President!

Scary stuff. Thank you Pelosi, for bringing this to my attention.

Of course she must be referring to the future generations of time traveling Americans that will arrive en mass later this year to take part in the celebration known as The Big Layoff.

well if that doesn't make you confident in those running things i don't know what will!

and to think she is actually 3rd from the presidency...i can't stand her and i am a democrat!

This just means that all Americans will lose their jobs, then lose them again.

This will result in all Americans needing to be hired twice before they are employed.
