I don't think we have 200 million aliens (legal or illegal) in the country.

Even with that, it would require EVERYONE, man, woman, child in the country to be "workers."

It's ok, just throw out big numbers Madame Speaker.

Pelosi everything up and scare people with wild assertions.

"We have to pass this bill or every kitten in the world will die. Come on you heartless Republicans! KITTENS!!!!"

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I'll be sending my eight year old to apply for unemployment today.  It's about time too, he hasn't held a job in eight years.....


(I thought there were only about 300 million people living in the US in total.)
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

There aren't even 300 million Americans. Sure, only 200 million more THAN ACTUALLY EXIST. Pelosi is such an idiot.

And really, I think Obama is realizing that he's got a stupid queen bee that will be difficult to get out. That she can ruin everything for him, and that's why he's actually talking to the Republicans, to find some way to stop her dictatorial agenda.

His inexperience is showing, but I honestly feel sorry for him with having to deal with Pelosi, realizing just what she is.

Mane, stop right there!  You forget, The One can see ghosts.

No doubt The One has blessed Pricess Pelosi with the power of seeing the dead.  And, apparently, the dead are sitting on the couch eating Cheetoes and not being productive (if so, I ask why Ron Paul did not win).
I do not smoke pot, wear Wookie suits, live in my mom's basement, collect unemployment checks or eat Cheetoes, therefore I am not a Ron Paul voter.

That's only true if you don't count voting for Democrats as being productive. Hmmm, well actually.....

I think she's also counting all the Thetan-spirits that Xenu killed, and are localized within CONUS.
I promise not to duck.

500 million is the number of registered Democratic voters.  That's why she is confused.

Reminds me of a homeless advocate that said 3,000,000 homeless are dying on the streets of America every month.

He also said there were 12,000,000 homeless.

When later confronted with his figures from a previous appearance, and told that, by his own numbers, we had no homeless problem because the last homeless person had to have died months before . . . his response was a string of expletives.  ;/

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Her boss is from Chicago. The figures probably come from the voter registration figures there. The cemeteries probably have the best turnout.

Well, you see, we're an empire now, since Bush took away all our freedoms and started attacking Muslims all over the world.  So, you have to count Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc.  I'd add more, but since Dick Cheney is monitoring all my communications, I've probably already said too much.

Is she also counting the StarKist Tuna corporation, based in her home town of San Francisco, as a voter?

She specifically exempted the American Samoa Islands from the bill raising the minimum wage. A place in which StarKist employees more than half the islands's population.

How much stock or other interest does she have in StarKist? How much money did she insert for StarKist get from the latest corporate welfare bill?

About that...  not so much it seems:

Got a source to counter the counter to that claim?

no wonder they won the election! they got 400 million of the votes ;/
Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

But at least they were not listed and voted in alphabetical order like the dead ACORN voters who put Dear Leader in office.
