Tom Hanks...Stay Away From Math

Tom Hanks

So according to Tom Hanks, President Obama has saved a billion jobs or something. These guys must be so far from reality that they actually believe the nonsense they peddle. Are there even a billion jobs in America? Well, there are about 300 million Americans. I would guess that at least half of them are either old enough or able enough to work at said jobs. We know that there are not more jobs than people to work them. 150 million is a long way from 1 billion.

NOTE: I think my estimation of 150 millions jobs is high. It seems to me that it is actually in the 70 - 80 million range.
