So, let's do the math again, with her corrected numbers:500,000/month -> 16,667/day -> 684/hour -> 12/minute, or one every 5 seconds.
If I remember correctly US lost about 500,000 jobs in December 2008. Poor Nancy, everybody can have such a slip of tongue. There are many much more substantive issues Nancy Pelosi can be attacked for.
And we are up to over 12 million unemployed, at an unemployment rate of 7.6%, we face serious issues.
Her tongue slipped twice. Once, OK...but when you are in a position of power, somebody on your staff should have caught that so you wouldn't repeat the error. So, was it an error or was it something else...curious minds want to know. A gaffe like that, you might say "OK, she said 5 million a month and really meant 5 million unemployed. " But 500 million? Unless she really has no grasp of numbers.
She and the other Democrats told us they would have a plan. That they would be inclusive. That they could "reverse the course" of the past administration. But all we've seen is the same old partisanship and the same old ideas.
