Probably Pelosi was rolling all those government jobs that were "saved" as being created. Hey, close enough for government work.

That was absolutely what she was doing, but as any economist will tell you, there's no way to prove those figures -- there's no paper trail. So you can add as many zeros to any number you want and no one can really refute them.

Chris Christie doesn't seem to have much trouble distinguishing between the two. The billion bucks Corzine got as part of the stimulus package is gone and because the teacher's union wouldn't budge thousands of New Jersey teachers are getting the sack.

Christie is a kicker. I love the dude...no nonsense man.

Government jobs maybe. ;)
