Via the Drudge Report, a crude YouTube video features Democratic House of Representatives speaker Nancy Pelosi holding a press conference telling of unprecedented layoffs in the US.
Basically, Pelosi says that if legislators don't move quickly to pass President Barack Obama's stimulus package, "500 million Americans lose their jobs". According to her, this sobering scenario will occur every month without proper government action.
However, according to the US census bureau, the current population of residents in the country stands at about 305,000,000.
Now, before casting judgment, it's wise to consider that perhaps there could be many a wayward American (almost 200 million of them) in other parts of the globe, who soon will lose their jobs just because of the simple fact that they're American. And everything that goes on within US borders will always affect them, no matter where they dwell.
But basically, all Americans (and then some) will be unemployed if the Senate doesn't get moving on this legislation.
Ironically, this includes the aforementioned Senate. So hopefully, the US government will soon be implementing a stimulus project near you.
