Last week Nancy Pelosi said in an interview that each month that we do not pass the stimulus 500 million Americans lose their jobs. The problem with that there are only 300 million Americans. You would think the Speaker of the House would have a reasonable idea how many people are in this Country. This is an example of how people have been completely desensitized to the size of large numbers. All of our Representatives are trying to push through the stimulus package and just keep making it bigger. The American people should be outraged by this package and writing and calling their representatives to tell them to through it out. Even the above average person can not grasp how big a Trillion dollars is. That is a 1 with 12 zeros after it; a 13 figure number! If you could spend $1 million every day, it would take almost 3000 years to go through a $1 trillion. If you spend $1 million every hour, it would take 114 years to spend $1 trillion.
The President keeps trying to scare people into believing that if we don’t pass this package we will never recover. Is he really that much of a pessimist? Does he, our President, not have more faith in America, the Greatest Country on the earth? He is supposed to be our leader.
