The trajectory of hyperbole

It’s a good thing the Democrats’ Iowa debate was only two hours long. Who knows how many people would have lost their jobs by the end:

Early in the debate: (narrator on video) “On this point, Iowans agree with the rest of the nation, where an estimated 2.3 million jobs have been lost since 2000.”

Later: “We've lost over 3 million manufacturing jobs in this country.” – Kucinich

And then: “The worst president on the economy, in terms of jobs, 6 million jobs lost.” - Carole M-B

Hmmm…better update my resume.
